Receivers putting lines on tv pictures, and or carriers on top of tv sound
carriers?...not to mention all the carriers and ghosts the tvs put on
everything from five megs up!  Yip, I had a couple of them, don't know if
they'd been monkeyed with or not before I got them, but an old Hallicrafters
S38,/I don't know which letter, and one of the heathkits, the one in the
wooden case with the speaker in the left end with the fuzzy grill, and I
think a friend's national SW54 would do the same thing, but only with the tv
pretty close, and only if you were tuning speciffic frequencies...Most of
that stuff happened at the VA School for the Blind in Staunton, they had a
community antenna system which was kind of leaky to boot.....then there were
the several phono oscilators and modulated 455KC IF carriers different folks
had to broadcast music and stuff on the AM band......but I digress, or in
this case, "Dyer gress."  Sorry about that, Danny.
