> This engineer rigged an audio xfmr allowing him to listen to what was
being
said in the office.
Reminds me of a situation I had in Mississippi where the night DJ on our
urban
station used to have all kinds of company at night. The control room was
usually
full of hangers-on. Whenever I showed up, they all seemed to disappear.
I had a spare SCA generator, so I had Kirk feed it with a direct feed from
the mic
processor and listened at home on my GE Super Radio with the subcarrier
modification. Not only could I tell when a party was going on in the
Control Room, I could tell who was there and what they were talking about.
The jock involved never did figure out how I managed to determine what he
was
up to, but the nighttime Control Room parties stopped soon thereafter.
