A Sign from GOD.Funny Story

I keep one of my Fenders at my daughter's house, along with an old Peavey combo amp. I always go over and walk her dog during the day while she's working. Afterwards, I'll often sit down and play a little. Not every time, but several times I've heard a Mexican radio station coming out of the Peavey.

Also, I used to shoot about 4 times a year at a Sheriff's Department firing range South of Nashville. I had electronic ear protectors, which enabled you to hear conversations, but would filter out the loud gunshots. Anyway, I used to pick up a Mexican radio station through those "ears" as well. (Cue the theme from The Twilight Zone...) ;)

I wish I was in Tijuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say?

I'm on a Mexican...Radio :D
 
Ya, me too! Now the real trick is for someone to actually post a real picture of God.....

That would be too cool! :cool:

DONE!!!
 
I have a 1994 Tobias and the preamp seemed wired wrong (according to the wiring diag), so I connected the two points that should be connected, and got a little mariachi band... Seeing that we don't have an FM or AM station of that type here, I'm thinking it might have been a shortwave frequency.
Also, the copper lining of where the preamp sits might have attributed to the anomaly.
