Yes if you connect it to ground.

It won't improve the radio reception. A radio antenna is designed to be a multiple of the radio wavelength that you are trying to recieve. Typically they should be 1/2 or quarter wavelengths long. In addition, they have an electronic circuit inside the radio that provides an impedence match to the amplifier circuits inside the radio. By attaching the antenna to the housewiring, you are upsetting the design of the radio/amplifier circuit, which will result in a reduction in the signal strength induced into the antenna by the radio wave.

Only through a very small capacitor .0001 micro farid. This will block 60 hz but pass the radio frequency. May not work very well depending on the other equipment connected. A scr power supply generates a lot of rf. freq. spurs.

No you will probably get the shock of your life. There is 120 volts present on the electrical outlet, and your antenna is looking for milli volts.
Dont do it.

Did you verify to confirm if the two sides of plug is warm each and all of the time. as tab being broken off might separate the ideal element from backside electrically and the pink twine would be from a 2nd swap. desire this facilitates.additionally i might propose gfi plugs as in kitchen and on counter.Code maximum places. desire this facilitates.

Only if you lived in a radio mast pylon
