Loops in the attic will not do anything but act as a super antenna, which he probably didn't need. Got any documentation? Often radio stations in outlying areas try to play to the big city market. I once worked for a super-powerful AM radio station outside of San Francisco, beaming it's 250,000 watts effective radiated power at The City. The transmitter was near Valley Home, CA. Residents of Valley Home could hear the station in their telephones, musical instruments, bathroom plumbing, and just about anything else capable of resonating to frequencies in the audio range. It was an engineering nightmare!! Frequently enough audio power can be de-modulated from radio signals to produce an audible sound without electronic amplification. But enough to drive an entire house?? It's gotta be urban legend. -- BossJock Now heard over more home radios than any other household appliance!
