This surely falls under the signal noise category, but it might not be something people ever think about. It's power lines. My yard is wrapped in utility lines k/t how it sits in the Universe. Both MATS (local transport, Mountain Area Transportation System) and local Pickens County Sheriff's Office during 9-1-1 emergency calls are NOT able to call out *at all* when they're sitting in my driveway. Seems natural to a-sume those two community resources have communications systems powerful enough to worm through anything, but apparently... nope. At least not when it comes to sitting underneath a tight nest of power lines. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *
