[BC] Listeners Loading down the Transmitter

[Mail Radiolanes Account]

A while back when I was an owner of the station, I had a loop to the house
connected as an extention on the station phone system. When I would hear
dead air I would page the building over the phone system. They never figured
how I did it. VNC on the studio computer can be fun also!
