Thanks Bob.  I think I've proved to myself that it's a strong outside signal
because in my plaster and lathwork house, RF signals often don't go more
than 15'.  These signals reached every corner of the house and an area 200'
in diameter with the house in the center.  One thing a friend reminded of is
that I am a few 100 yards away from the tallest building for 5 miles and
it's bristling with antennas on the roof.  Who knows what's coming out of
them?
