Title: Not really about ones and zeros, but...
Post by: Jessie on June 16, 2005, 10:21:31 AM
My car antenna is wonky.

The other day the radio started getting staticy.  I went around and checked the wire connection, and it seemed secure enough.  The antenna itself was a little loose, so I gave it a turn to tighten it up.

Still fuzzy.

This morning I turned on my rear defroster and it totally killed my signal.

WTF?

All radio stations have switched to HD. The AM/FM radios won't work anymore.

Do I need to tune with the rear defroster now?

Only if it's a Ham radio. And don't defrost the ham for too long or it will dry out.
