Interference from modern mains powered equipment can ( and indeed is ) carried from one peice of kit to another via the mains wiring wether it be in france the UK australia or outer mongolia, It makes no difference. Most of the "hash" that blocks out AM broadcasts is, as I said before, generated by the internal ocsillators in connected equipment. One of the prime culprits being the Switch Mode power supplies that are now part of ( almost ) ALL electronic equiment that plugs into the mains. Even though there are "filters" that are supposed to prevent too much interference getting back through the mains it is whofuuly inadequet ( my opinion) in most cases. One thing that may help is a direct connection from your radio to an earth rod ( not the house earth, a seperate earth ) as recomended for transmitting stations.
