I've probably got an instance here,
It's a ~300MHz BW amp in three stages, but it sings at ~1.8GHz. Holding my hand over it seems to quench it. It could be near-field capacitance coupling, or it could be a kind of evanescent (surface) wave carried over the board, who knows. Probably not in-board coupling (the ground plane is solid and well stitched, and the supply is well filtered).
Circuits are usually small enough that true radiation isn't applicable. Rather, it's better expressed as electric or magnetic coupling. As you push into the GHz, it does get harder to keep the circuit in its own near-field (or, say, into the 100s of MHz with ye olde tubes), and you'll see more standing wave and radiation effects.
