All it has to do is buzz out the bits on a low frequency/low bit rate with the cable working as a long wire antenna. Just give it a little buffer.
A defective ballast in a grow lamp is enough to really fuck up shortwave radio reception in a large area, so it wouldn't take much to send slow speed data on a specific frequency a mile away.
The essence of 802.15.4, 6LoWPAN, and Zigbee. Use low power and low data rate but long range. HAMs have been sending pulses thousands of kilometers on a gnats fart worth of power just for fun.

Okay, it's a cable, how do I get my WiFi appliance to do this.
