[TenTec] Fw: !!#**++!!! noise source found!!!

[John T. Gwin]

Roy and Mike,

    I have had a similar problem here, 
and based upon Roy's success, I 
decided to try to run it down.

    It, too, was a grinding, whining, 
incessant kind of thing which seemed to 
start up around 5 to 6 a.m., and continued 
each evening until after the 10 p.m. news.
Someone here suggested that I try to 
think back about how long I had been 
experiencing this.

    I have identified the start-up date as 
June 11, 1972.  Amazingly, the same as 
my wedding anniversary date.

    Mike, Patsy says "hey".

  T-T gang,

  I thought this one was worthy of posting here, so I'm forwarding it as
  an FYI.

  Mike,

  Just now I located the sputtering, drifting, frying noise!! My Panasonic
  all band portable receiver let me straight to a neighbor's house a block
  away. Inside was a damned "power chair" plugged in, charging. His grand
  daughter unplugged it and everything went quiet. Heavenly quiet. This is
  the second power chair I have tracked down in the neighborhood. The
  first one got cured after the guy had hip surgery and no longer needed
  it.

  This one belongs to a friend and he will charge it now during times I'm
  not operating (hopefully). He said he will also contact the chair's
  factory about it.

  73,  & thanks for your corncern,

  Roy   K6XK
