Ah, shucks! I'll be missing it. Getting up at 0200 hours is very tiresome.... But got to work... lol.

Wierd thing happened this morning. While on my pc, have wireless Linksys B router, all of a sudden someone's voice came out from the speakers of the pc, and stated something like, "have to call" WOW, I looked at my husband, and he looked at me strange and said, "yes, I heard it too. Sounded like it came from the computer speakers." Anyone every had that before? I shut down the pc. Yes, I do have firewall, and changed the linksys default password, and some other codes. Wierd!

That is very weird, RB! We need to ask around on FR, to see if any of those who know a lot about electronics and/or computers can explain that! Till then, I'm double-checking every night to make sure the speakers on this thing are turned OFF!!

runningbear, several years ago I had an old black and white TV and had it connected to one of those Clappers so I could clap it on or off. No remote for that TV. Anyway one night I was awakened to a bright light and talking. I discovered that the TV was on and voices were coming through it. The voices seemed familiar. Some days later I had my tape recorder plugged into a wall outlet transcribing off of a tape. Pretty soon I started hearing those voices that sounded familiar again. They were talking vulgar to truck drivers.

To try and make a long story short, we were managing my fathers Mobile Home Park and a young couple had moved in and put up a great big antenna. We discovered they had Ham Radio equipment and were cutting into truck drivers CB's and my TV and portable tape recorder also picked it up. I was able to record them as they came through the tape recorder and when they denied what they were doing I had proof. We finally got them evicted.

Maybe something like that happened through your PC. Drive around and see if there are any big antennas around.

Many years ago we used to be able to hear our neighbor talking on her cordless phone through our computer speakers. We told her about it and she purchased a better phone with more channels and that solved the problem. Maybe you're having a similar problem?

Someone in your area has a CB pushing a GOOD signal. It happens to me when my neighbor keys his up. As a matter of fact it even halts my wireless mouse while he's talking.
