Yeah, prop. can do odd things. The weirdest DX report we ever got was the one 
where all you heard was a jumble of noise and adjacent channel splatter. 
Then, as if out of nowhere, "WFIF!" and then right back into the noise... not to 
be heard, again. What made it so especially weird, was that it was *my* voice! 
It was enough for that DX'er to ID us, and send us the report, tho. It was 
cool to be able to tell him that it was us, because it was *my* voice.
