Re: Help on a strange problem

["RockyTSquirrel" <gafa@/nospam/usa.com>]

tenfoil the window to that room  and see if it stops.
Had a problem kinda  like that and it was from stray Microwave
communications tower links which was bouncing into the apt we were
checking..

on another note  we had a stray signal in the office once  that was coming
from the FAX machine,  seems the heater to the thermo  paper had a hair line
crack  that was putting out microwaves  just right for the detector..
