Brilliant that you built your own pickup straight away - I just bought mine! It's indeed very addictive and surprising wandering around listening to the electric fields all around us. The most interesting ones I've found are from phones and laptops and an Eneloop battery charger!
Yeah, it was a great discovery for me too. Did you ever try it in the open air?
I'm planning to go to the hill near my city that is full of radio/cells antennas, I don't know if the signals are strong enough to be caught but I hope to find some new sounds.
Yes, I've recorded with em pickups outside quite a lot. I tend to find you need to get very close to things - electrical and telephone equipment, lamp posts etc. also got some good recordings on trains! The SOMA ETHER is the best pickup I have for in the air recordings it has a radio receiver built in so that's probably more what it is picking up - good hunting! 👍
