there is a guy in one of the fraternity houses here that built a 
"black box" transmitter, it had an on switch and a VCO, he would
tune the little bugger around the FM band and run to full quieting
his neighbor's stereo..

this was great, since it did not hurt the stereo at all! and it was
a pocket sized gadget..

the other thing to note, is a CB that runs a little high on the out-
put side (that is your buisness not mine) will often times put out
enough RF to modulate a speaker. we had a band amp go nuts with a guy
about a block away from our rehearsal area, everyone standing around
discussing the next gig, when "Yeah Goldduster, thats a 10-4" comes
blasting out of one of our amps..

i guess he just was putting out enough to excite the plate in the tube
section, and it amplified the differences it had..

also i noticed when i was a kid (you were a kid?) that when i tuned
my radio shack aircraft reciever (the one that you put together with
spring clips) that it is so unsheilded that it will put nice black and
white bars across your T.V. screen! just tune it around until it happens
and then label the dial for "channel 10" or whatever, this was great,
as it took my sister a couple of days to figure out how it was that
whenever she wanted to watch something, the reception went crazy!

oh well...
