Picking up radio frequency on 5E3

Darin	Picking up radio frequency on 5E3 Hi All, I finally got to give my 5E3 hybrid (2x10s in a mahogony cab of my design) a good workout last night. Sounds pretty good, though the speakers aren't broken in yet. I am also not sold on the tubes. Anyway, twice when I approached the amp from the front to switch it to standby, I started picking up a very loud, muffled radio station. I have experienced this before with a HiFi amp and with my SFTR once. What could cause this and is there anyway to remedy it?

Picking up radio frequency on 5E3

Hi All,

I finally got to give my 5E3 hybrid (2x10s in a mahogony cab of my design) a good workout last night. Sounds pretty good, though the speakers aren't broken in yet. I am also not sold on the tubes.

Anyway, twice when I approached the amp from the front to switch it to standby, I started picking up a very loud, muffled radio station. I have experienced this before with a HiFi amp and with my SFTR once. What could cause this and is there anyway to remedy it?
