I turn off my iPod that's plugged into the headset (not "Ride of the

Somehow the combination of iPod, wire and LightSpeed 30-3G was acting
as a radio (a very crisp, loud radio) picking up multiple frequencies
at once. I wish I had written down all the airport names so I could see
how many I was hearing, but it was quite the cacophony. I called LightSpeed
and the guy there had never had that reported before. I said I'd post
to a newsgroup to solicit other reports. Anyone?

My bizarre story happened in the mid 70's. I took up a guy in my Tri-
Pacer with a newfangled video camera. It was before small one piece
camcorders existed and the Beta recording deck was in the a back seat
as we flew around town shooting video. We were not concerned with
audio and did not take a microphone along. We got back to the TV
studio where I worked and played the tape. Out of the speaker, clear
as day, came every bit of radio communication from the entire flight,
both transmitted and received. Weird.
