Where did anybody say accidentally? I said it could be improvised. Are you arguing just to argue?
Edit: I realize that the headboard story implies an "accidental" semiconductor. And yes that's totally possible.
- fortran77 3y agoIt could absolutely happen accidentally. Any bad contact between two conductors can cause a non-linear junction that can detect an AM radio signal. TFA refers to, presumably an FM signal (because of the 3.3 meter band and what's usually broadcast there), so I doubt this story a bit.
- geocrasher 3y agoYep I mentioned that in a comment below, an accidental semiconductor IS possible, but that wasn't my point really. I get the arguers point though, a headboard implies accidental, I wasn't thinking of it that way. But anyway, as we've established, both improvised and accidental are possible and documented.
