I've got an Optonica receiver set up in my shop, right next to the floor-standing drill press. I was fooling around one day, trying to improve the AM reception (FM is via a MD ST-2). I had a 6' length of 18 ga speaker wire hooked up to the AM connection on the receiver, and happened to touch the end of the wire against the drill press.Instantly got great reception for a station that I really like, but have problems bringing in. Doesn't seem to matter if the drill press (a Jet 17") is plugged in or not, or running or not.
