In my wild and misspent youth when I was using 11 meters, I used a VERY
large amp which would cause some neighbors to hear my voice coming from
electric sockets, refrigerators, light bulbs, radios, TVs and such. I
would also voice over anyone close who was recording on tape.

My electric bill was rather large as I had to unplug the stove to use the
220 socket.

The other day I was operating on 40 m SSB with 1KW+ output. Antenna is an
inverted V at 50 feet. My mother told me she could hear my voice coming out
of somewhere on the second floor. There was nothing with a speaker in it
that was turned on, not even a PC. I will have to repeat that with a ham
friend present.
