Back at about the same time the BBC had (and still has) a powerful
transmitter on 200khz (now198) a local farmer who lived close to the station
built a large tuning coil in the loft and lit his house using fluorescent
tubes.
He was successfully prosecuted for stealing electricity or something
similar.
If this is true (and I have no reason to doubt it), did it make the
signal weaker for everybody else?
Unlikely anywhere other than in the very near vicinity, and at that
range who would have noticed.
