I grew up about 5 miles from that antenna. I can't say I ever heard the radio through the wiring in my house. The Voice of America antenna array down the street though? I could hear it clearly through my stereo speakers when everything was turned off.
It's been dismantled, but I can imagine the number of ghost stories that it spawned. Just sitting in your house, and then you faintly hear a man speaking German...

I never heard the broadcasts through metal objects in the house either, but maybe they scaled back the power in the time I grew up there. Never heard any VoA broadcasts either.
