Probably I mentioned this a while back on another thread.
In my very young teens, I borrowed a Linear Concord 30W valve amp and wired the output to a car ignition coil attached to a spark plug. Earth was attached to the body and the tip was attached to my 150ft + aerial.
You could just make out the strains of Sandie Shaw singing when played into the amplifier. Simultaneously on LW, MW and goodness knows where else!
I didn't pursue this too long as it was not my amplifier.
