Many moons ago, I went to the Space Deck level on the CN tower, carrying an analog Hi8 Sony Handycam.
The amount of RF is (understandably) so intense at that level that it was able to induce visual static in the LCD viewfinder. The static came and went, depending on where you were standing, but did not record to tape.

I was here today and had no idea there was radio transmitter stuff around. I even poked my head in a few out-of-the-way doors. Well-isolated, I suppose.

I love stuff like this. I had a behind the scenes album from inside a turbine that was down for maintenance at the Hoover dam, but my laptop was stolen right around that time and I had no backups (before the cloud). Very spooky watching water drip into the turbine housing (which you could nearly stand up in) knowing an enormous lake was directly above you.
