You know how a weak FM signal will be stronger in a certain place or 
places around your house.
There is one of those 100 watt LPFM stations in town. Sometimes, there 
are programs on it that I would like to hear.
The station has a good signal in the car, and on the screen porch, but 
is unreadable in most of the house due to multi-path and various micro 
processor
noises, including a very strong one from the coffee pot.
This morning, I walked through the house with a portable radio just to 
see if I could find a place where I could hear this station.
And, Eureka! I found it!
The signal is totally quiet with the radio sitting on the floor behind 
the toilet in the main bathroom.
Upon learning of this important and somewhat amazing discovery, my 
wife responded with what has become one of her standard statements, 
which is usually
punctuated by numerous shakes of the head:
"You ain't right, Duke."
