Thumbs down R44 governor disengagement

Has anyone ever experienced this? A friend flew over a nest of high - power RF transmission antennas recently, and, the way he describes it, heard "organ - like sounds" over the headset. He then had an immediate low rrpm warning, lowered the collective and the discovered that he had a lot of throttle movement available - the governor had disengaged. He was told that there has been mention of this happening before. Very interesting. Any comments?
(I don't have precise details of the type of transmission energy of the antennas)
