One time this lady was taking a bath and this story was in a 1956 QST magazine that I have an old collection of..Anyway her neighbor was a ham and this was in Bismark North Dakota..He was coming thru the pipes and this was an older home where lead and or copper pipes were the norm.The pipes became a tuned oscillator and it was picking up his signal on the six meter AM band and the lady flipped out..You would only hear it when there was water in the tub and you were in the tub.
