every
time I did, there was a group of young people there dressed in strange
garb.
They held out bags as they chanted something like "trikortreet". The
only
possible reason for this strange behavior I can come up with is the
recent
solar flare activity.

Yesterday my ICOM vhf (which has DSC capability) would suddenly change

to

channel 16 and emit a very loud ambulance siren type sound from the

speaker.

The volume of the sound was not controllable and be canceled by

changeing

channels or pushing the DSC button.This happened quite a few times.

Today I

tested the unit by leaving it on for a good while , checks OK. So could

this

be caused by solar flares?

Interesting, I noticed my digital cable (t.v.) loosing signal some
yesterday. Doesn't usually do that, so who knows?!!
