It reminds me of an Alistair MacLean novel, can't remember which one, where the hero sneaks into a ship's radio room and sends out a message pretending to be Portishead. On a fifties cargo ship with crystal controlled Tx? Yea sure…….

There are strange things done -- When I was about 15 years old I was in the army cadets at school and we had a signals platoon with a couple of different field radios. One saturday morning I was operating an "18" set (normally a two man operation) just walking down the street comunicating with our base when a little old lady came bursting out of her house complaining to me that she could hear me on her TV set. Not too up on the technicality but understand there can be induction when a signal is powerful enough at close range to overcome set frequencies?
