So when it's the FM, it's easy to hook an old Heathkit vacuum tube signal generator to an old car antenna and capture the receiver on that frequency (altho' more power on the 10.7 MHz IF would alleviate tuning the generator). But what about when it's a CD, tape, or album? Which would be better (easier, cheaper, more effective): inducing transients on the power line or radiating AF hash into space? Transients on the power line have to get thru the power supply filtering. Anyway, that runs the risk of damaging equipment, which is not the objective. Radiating AF hash seems like it may be better, but what is a good way to generate it? Would an old auto ignition coil hooked to a non-resistive spark plug and suitably triggered work well? Or is there an easier way? Technical responses only, please.
