Yip, ham or CB. One time my TV picked up the road crew that was working on the road about 2 blocks away. It IS eerie at first!!!!

It could be a neighbor who has a cb in their vehicle/semi, and I forget what they call the "booster" but when it is engaged, they can come through your speakers.
They can be a ways away and still come through, so it can be hard to tell who it is :D:D:D |
The speakers on my old computer would pick up DH's CB when he was sitting in the driveway. After he realized I could hear his conversations, he'd pull up in the driveway, loudly say "Honey, I'm home!" and scare the BLEEP out of me! LOL! :lol:
The speakers on my new laptop don't do it, though. Not sure why. |
I get that too on mine.. I hear it early in the morning..sounds like a radio station on mine, but very faint

My DH is a ham operator and it could be that. Ham operators should have filters on their equipment to avoid this problem. Most new ones now have them built in. I don't know about CBers. However, we have a walkie-talkie set up and every now and then it blurts out but it is not coming from the radios. My DH has four antennas set up and never had a complaint. Aside from that, when I first moved in my home, after we had gone to bed, I could hear music (very softly) playing. I would get up, check everything, and finally figured it out. It was coming out of the faucet in the half-bath! Radio transmissions can do weird things. A relative that lived in Torrance CA back in the 60's could pick up the station KOMA here in OKC. Now that is a hugh bounce.

That would be weird....at one time when I picked up the phone, in addition to a dial tone..I could hear my neighbor's talking on their phone. Sometimes interesting...but then I realized that if I could hear them...they could hear me..didn't like that at all!

It's called a skip. My old house portable phone use to do it. You had to change the channels.
