FM frequency jammers

[Jeunemaitre]

Imagine an FM radio behind a locked door 5 meters away from you, feeding ceiling speakers that you could not turn off (either the speakers or the radio).  Imagine that you were so sick of it you just had to find any possible way to shut it off (no, just turning it off is not an option, unfortunately).

You don't by any chance live in Syracuse, NY do you? I remember living on campus, and just off campus, not far from the transmitter for Jazz 88 (WAER) on top of one of the dorms. I think for a while the local CBS (either that or NBC, IIRC) affiliate had filed suit against them for impinging on their broadcast facility in the university hill area. It was miserable, you turn on the TV and you get not just the TV sound but the smooth sounds of Jazz 88. The signal carried enough power that if you left your stereo on the CD setting without turning it off, you could still get the radio station loud and clear through the speakers. On some days, you would get it in the background all the way around the FM dial... :angry:

This was the one time in my life when I believed that if you stood right, you could use your dental work to tune it in and turn your mouth into a speaker... :o

My god, what wouldn't I have given for a way to make the stupid thing stop...
