Weren't 455 kc if's nice? I too have my WATV (worked al television sets
award) along with the WALPA (worked all local public address systems award)
cert.
When I was young and thought of foolish (read evil) things to do, garage
door openers on 27 MHz was considered fair game to see how many we could get
to open and close on a given street.
No doubt we made the local door opener repairmen many $$ in unneeded
service calls.
