I had something close with my previous laptop.
It was an Apple iBook 12" running BSD
and last summer I went to a place called "Mont
Valérien" where you have an american cemetry and
a military communications base. I was on the grass,
typing text on my vi and suddenly the two small
speakers were doing noise and I could hear voices
that looked like a radio transmission, and not
the kind you hear on fm radio...

The internal DAC was pumping their radio
transmissions to the speakers, but the closest
antenna looked far away, much higher.

I've not been there since.
