Baby Monitor Makes Extraterrestrial Contact

Given the monitor's rather small rabbit ear-style antenna, it's unlikely that the device is actually picking up the live feed directly from the shuttle. Rather, the theory is that someone local to her is rebroadcasting the stream and it just happens to be on the same frequency as the baby monitor. Either way, this is probably a good sign there may be a future-astronaut in the house.

Amateur Radio operators, "Hams" regularly monitor & rebroadcast NASA communications, using 2 meter(144 to 148 Mhz) radio frequencies. They also use slow-scan TV frequencies (20 meters, specifically at 14.230 and 14.233 MHz)to send audio/video signals. It appears that someone maybe using "baby monitor" frequencies (49 MHz, 900 MHz, or 2.4 gigahertz)to rebroadcast or retelecast the NASA live video feed(like NASA TV-available on satellite networks and some cable providers) to others. FCC legal? Hmm....

Are we certain that the kid possibly being an astronaut is "good news" considering the recently reported diaper wearing love triangle.

When my children were small, I frequently picked up conversations going on in the houses of various neighbors on the baby monitor. How? I have no idea. But I found out more about my neighborhood than I ever wanted to know!

There is also a phenomenon a friend of mine who was a science whiz told me about as a child in which whenever there is a broadcast on any frequency anywhere there are side-frequencies on which the broadcast can also be heard. It has something to do with physics and mathematics. There is a proper name for it but I forget what it is. Either that, or someone may have been watching this on television or on their computer and the baby monitor was picking up EMF from something either in the wiring or in the set or computer itself which was insufficiently insulated or not operating properly.

Hello.. Steve, you know a lot about this stuff. I take care of mom, she's round the clock work. I use a baby monitor that I know the ham operator next door is listening in on just for the fun of it. I like my privacy better than that, is there anything you know of that I could do to stop her?? Thanks for listening, Ragsie

Yes, you can shout into the monitor with a bullhorn, or use a large whistle and blow her ears(and maybe her speaker) out!! Good luck, I can't stand nosy people!
