There are many instances of poorly shielded equipment picking up AM
radio broadcasts, since all you need is a diode, inductor, capacitor
and antenna to receive it (A.K.A crystal radio). Just wiring can
create inductance and capacitance and a makeshift rectifier is pretty
simple to inadvertently create as well. A long cable can form an
antenna.
