[R-390] EMP effects:

[William J. Neill]

The "thing" was a Coke bottle, the neck of which was snared in the  
pull ring of a window shade at an open window and with the breeze  
blowing the window shade, the Coke bottle was coming in random  
contact with a live CW key immediately beneath it.

Yep!  It was a submarine crew that came ashore and found the radio
beying keyed by something attached to a window shade.

The crew went in search of survivors of a nuclear war.  They heard the
signal and took bearings to determine where the signal was coming from.

Boy, does THAT bring back memories of old!
