CD Player Receives FM Station
 
Sometimes at night I listen to my portable CD player, plugged into the
wall outlet, using a set of headphones. I receive a local (as yet
unid.) FM radio station. The signal is faint but clearly audible and I
turn up the volume to drown it out to hear the CD. Anyone one else have
this happen? Is it the power cord or is it the headphones' cord acting
an antenna?

Thanks!

Yes, more likely its an AM station, they just need a diode to rectify on, FM
needs a discriminator, but CD may have somenting of that sort in it.
