Yeah, it actually happend to us, with a Micor rx mounted in a non-unified chassis separated from the rest of the base. Other then the pop-on shield on top, no other shielding except the rack cabinet, and when the ground got pulled off, we started hearing a SW station, although it sounded so bad, and it was strictly voice, we thought it was an off-freq signal, or intermod, until I started poking around and could hear it on my service montitor. I put two and two together, re-did the grounds, and it went away. That's been a couple years now... -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!
