If he is hearing the the cord radiate, he either has the antenna very
close to the shack or the coax is leaky.

The only other
possibility I can think of is that the wiring to the wall socket is in
conduit, so it's shielded, and the line cord is acting as an antenna,
radiating whatever junk is on the wiring.  (Be sure to turn off all the
fluorescent lights nearby.)
