Foo - Freaky, as in "no more beer for me tonight" freaky

Okay -
So I am typing some stuff here about 5 minutes ago and the computer makes the "ding" noise alert that the printer lost its connection, the screen flickers, and then I hear this come through:
"Yeah, he keeps his stuff around the backyard, over *ffftt*"
the noise alert comes bak and the printer is back online. I have an AP (2.4/5-5.8GHz) hanging off my cheap cable router. I am pretty sure that was what picked up the police transmission, since nothing else I know of could have pushed the transmission through the speakers like that.
anything similar ever happen to anyone in here?

Dude, they're on to your backyard stash, watch out!

ha ha...you mean backyard stash of squirrels?! Cuz, that and somee old plastic furniture is all that is out there now

I used to have a big ol' tube guitar amp, back in the Seventies during the CB craze. Sometinms I'd get the local blaster over the amp. Scared the heck out of me the first time!

It happened at church once too, through the band's equipment.

I vote for CB radio. My parents would sometimes yell at me for mine because it would interfere with the TV, the stereo, and sometimes the telephone. Could also be FRS radios.

A guy I knew in the dormitory last year had a set of cordless headphones. He discovered pretty quickly that it was easy to pick up a cordless telephone conversation with them, as well. Thank goodness I like wires, because this wasn't the sort of guy I'd like listening to my conversations.

At the Del Mar fair you can listen to some interesting conversations if you have an el-cheapo x-mart walkie-talkie.

Freaky, the voice came through the PC speaker? Cell phone? Cordless phone?

Better stop cranking up the wattage on your WRT54G :D.

Yeah, through the PC Speakers - strange

LOL - Linksys
Sorry man, when you pretend to be an Enginerd, you get the good stuff: Proxim AP 4000. They think I know what I am doing!
heh heh...plus the Linksys do not have variable power (nerdiness showing)

The walls have ears, the sky has eyes. Now they even have a f**king voice - great!!

Oh contrare, sveasoft - alchemy.

It's pretty amazing what the little linux-based WRT54G and GS can do.
That means I have two Cisco Aironet 340's that I'm getting ready to put on Ebay.

My Fender Twin with the wah pedal dialed in just right speaks French to me. Some times it preaches fire and brim stone. Mostly it's just loud guitar noises that would irratate a regular kind of guy though.

******** aliens must have done it

We get a country music station on our speakers. It isn't very loud, but you can hear it when there is nothing else playing over the speakers.

There used to be a AM radio station in the middle of Pasadena. It would come in through the phone line. If a friend put the phone down, you could hear Tejano music.

It's even worse when you pick that sh*t up on your ears..

All the voices are hear come from my head.

I think it's my fillings.

That was God talking.

******** aliens must have done it

Nope, it wasn't us. We don't have anyone in his area at this time.

I have a DSL modem/wireless network here at work and I know I heard some sort of conversation coming through the PC speakers. How does this happen?

Have heard trainer jet pilots over my powered home speakers (Bose) before. First time it freaked me a bit.

A transmitter with enough power that is close enough will send sound out your speakers and even damage your computer. I vote also for the CB radio, with an illegal amplifier, or a high powered Ham radio. This is not unusual at all. In fact it's common.

The maximum legal CB amp is 4 watts. I have been close to a 125 watt amp, a 250 watt amp, and received from a 1000 watt amp. The guy with the 1000 watt amp made everyone’s electrical appliances talk. For a long way away. When I was in the next town from the 1000 watt amp, had unplugged my antenna, and turned off the power to my receiver, he would still come over my CB radio.

I got home last night and I swear my bar of soap in the kitchen was reshaped into a conical kind of shape.

Either my cats were licking the soap all night or a ghost was using my soap. I'm not Kidding. I'm still wondering what happened to it.

Sorry.......I had to wash my hands a lot to get the grease off after putting your Pista in my car. :(

I have to agreer.

When I was younger I played this game. Lets see how many touch lamps on my way home from work I can light up. With just a click of the mic.

I only had a Cobra 109 with a eagle mic and a 100 watt kicker!

:lol: "only" ??

A friend of mine was in the National Guard in some kind of a communications outfit. He had one of those Humvees with the whip antenna bent over to the front bumper. It had a huge powerful radio in it.

For a few days someone with an illegal ham radio or something similar was on the channel they used. This is also illegal. They repeatedly asked the illegal user to get off the frequency. He refused. So they had to go drive around and look for the source and stop it. They immediately found a huge tower with a huge antenna, and a huge ground plane antenna, next to a house. It was pretty close to where they normally operated. One of them knocks on the front door. Instantly a couple of shades on the first floor closed.
No response from the house. They start to drive away and they hear on the radio in the Humvee the idiot telling someone on the radio that the National Guard was just at the front door. So they undo the antenna from the bumper so it is straight up. Then, to turn around to go back, they back into the guy's driveway. It just so happens the Humvee antenna is now about a foot from the coax going up the side of the house. My friend keys the mike a few times and then transmits back to the base saying "We found it, but they won't open the door."

There were never any more problems.

Ok, I can't tell a lie.

It was a President Washington base station. With a golden eagle mic with revreb controls. Integrated in to a mobile unit. Using a 500 watt kicker with dual alternators in a old 76 Chevy pickup.

The Washington only lasted 2 months before I brunt the finales out of it. :D
