        I am reminded of the time when I was at KLIN in
        Lincoln NE.  Both our station and competing KFOR
        originated Nebraska football games by
        5kc "broadcast
        loops".    After audio checks and time checks for
        an hour before air time,  when the broadcast was
        put on the air we were airing their announcers and             they
were airing ours.  Apparently someone at                 Lincoln Telephone
did a last minute check of the             lines and switched patch cords.
