Re: RC: Using baby monitors for "eavesdropping" on horses in trailer . . .

["Karen J. Zelinsky" <kjz2@juno.com>]

Patti-
My experience with these devices is very interesting - but different
application....
My sister is extremely disabled - bedridden for years.  A few years ago,
we tried a baby monitor in her room so she could signal us for "attending
to her'... well, we would get strange sounds in the neighborhood, i.e.
mysterious baby sounds and other in-house sounds.  Hmmmm -- sounds like
we kind of tuned into certain wavelengths - don't know if it depended on
proximity or maybe miles away but same wavelength.  Very eerie.  Don't
know if you would get fast-forward of glimpses into private lives -
human, or ?? as you bopped down the road!  Let me know what happens!!  At
least they don't cost much.  Might be worth trying!
Cheers!
