Interesting discussion which reminded me of reading about a rather remarkable case of RFI into a professional audio system.

In 1972 Mike Oldfield recorded Tubular Bells at a studio about 40 miles from the Rugby 16 kHz VLF transmitter running c. 500kW. If you attach an SDR to the audio from a good quality copy of Tubular Bells (e.g. CD) - you can read the CW being sent.

No originality claimed - details at GBR in Tubular Bells - 16 Khz makes it onto CD who wudda thunk!? : r/amateurradio (reddit.com) <https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/7or56a/gbr_in_tubular_bells_16_khz_makes_it_onto_cd_who/> - but rather cool I thought! Clearly someone needed to learn about pin 1 problems - though I suspect this was long before XLR connectors were common..

73,
