Except that the whole metal building, and the sprinkler system via the water
pipes, is well and thoroughly grounded...has to be. For higher frequencies,
like FM, certain places (essentially impossible to find) might work as an
antenna...for AM...well, that's why you can't hear anything inside the durn
