Guys, you would be SURPRISED how many people do NOT know that. I've told a
few about their cordless phones and they damned near had a heart attack.

I'm not sure what part you're saying "NOT" to! I didn't mean heart attack
literally! Just a figure of speech, wondering how many have heard their
"phone calls". But I'd be willing to bet, if you ask the majority of people
"not radio oriented" if they knew their calls or baby monitors were able to
be overheard, most would say NO. Most of those I've told, had no clue. Not
everyone is in tune as we are.

Back about two years ago, I used a vox'ed 48 mcs W/T in front of
my 6M rig's speaker to inform me when the band was open -- at other
places around the house - using squelched W/T's and scanners.
6M being what it is, I collected more credit card numbers (and
expiration dates) than new grid squares.
The Phone Sex was "interesting", too. HI!HI

(I've since moved to a similar scheme _NOT_ using the 48/49 mcs toys.)
