Radio reception problem

Arnaud	Radio reception problem Hi ! I think it's an usual question. Yesterday, when I protoed a Doctor Q, I could hear radio in my amp at particular settings of my Doctor Q. So, it made me laugh 1 second and I put a 33pF between input signal and ground. But it solved nothing. I put directly the input of the effect to ground to see if my guitar was an antenna or not. I could still hear radio. It came from the pedal itself. And the radio is really loud! Today, I tried to make the Harmonic Percolator and I had the same problem. I think it comes from all the wires in the proto. Has anyone a solution for it ?
