        I'd imagine so.  Of course, I can still send a telegram to New
        York.  8-)  I can remember when you could call the Ohio Bell
        marine operator to raise a boat, or the Air Operator to
        contact an airplane, or the Mobile Operator to contact a car.
        Instructions were in the front of the phone book.

        I'm still of the opinion that if you decide to send EM
        radiation through my house & my body, I have a right to listen
        to it.  Any signal not meant to be heard by anyone with a
        scanner could & should be scrambled.

        Thank God for small favors...
