I remembered now of a church pastor I know, that was an antenna.
The story: this pastor, and only this pastor, would make wireless microphones in certain frequencies act up.
Eventually the audio team found out that somehow this particular pastor worked as an antenna for a particular frequency, matching a nearby radio transmitter, that due to its enormous size would overpower the microphone transmission and corrupt the data.
- white-flame 10y agoOne of my friends has a magnetic butt. Any time he carries a mag strip card in his back pocket, it no longer works. I also knew somebody who had to use wind-up pocket watches, because quartz wristwatches would always skew when he wore them, but would keep time fine when removed. Weird stuff. Who knows.
- stillworks 10y agoAnd how about the wind-up watches ? Did they not skew :-)
- mkesper 10y agoEverybody is an antenna. Probably his size was very "well tuned" to that radio transmitter.
