Whenever I turn on my stereo there is a radio station in the background. Admittedly my stereo isn't the best (It's one of those with a receiver, cassette player and turntable built all together), but it suits me fine, and it is driving me crazy! It's a foreign station, sounds possibly russian, but I don't know russian. There is alot of talking, and once in a while they play music for about 15 seconds. It doesn't matter if I have the cassette player, radio or record player on, nor does it matter what I have the volume set at. It's always the same! I tried to see if there was any AM, FM or TV station that was playing this, and there wasn't. I tried plugging it into a number of different plugs around the apartment, and it didn't go away until I used a couple of extensions cords and plugged it on the other side of the apartment. Of course this isn't a practical solution. Does anybody know what could be causing this? If so, what practical solutions are there? Thanks for any help. -- Carol Preston UUCP: {sri-unix, amd, hpda, harpo, ihnp4, allegra}!fortune!preston DDD: (415) 594-2691 USPS: Fortune Systems Corp, 101 Twin Dolphin Pkwy, Redwood Shores, CA 94065
