THC> Top 10 signs you've over-modified your scanning receiver...
THC> 1.  Houston Mission Control drowns out the local repeaters.
THC> 2.  Your radios glow in the dark.  Even when unplugged...
THC> 3.  The NSA calls to get copies of transmissions they missed.
THC> 4.  Commercial airline pilots use your antenna as a landmark.
THC> 5.  Your wife says "Either that thing goes or I go.  Over."
AS> 6. Your neighbor drops by unexpectedly and gives you the Evil Eye  
AS> when he hears his wife making a phone call.
 6b. When just being in close proximity to the receiver allows
     you to read your neighbors' wifes' mind and know what
     she's going to say on the phone before she says it.
     (this IS reading a WOMANS mind we're talking about !)
  7. There's no more room inside the receivers' case.
  8. The external case you built to house the mods (see #7),
     is larger and heavier than the receiver itself...
  9. NASA calls to inform you that spurious radiation
     from your receiver is jamming their control link
     with the Rover unit on Mars...
 10. The dial reads out a frequency that hasn't even been
     discovered (yet), and you hear voices talking about
     invading the 'third planet from the star'.
 11. The scientists from SETI call _YOU_ for updates.
Sincerely,
           Bruce - kb6lwn - ck1@pacbell.net
