TV Set Emits Emergency Signal
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 10:00 PM
"An Oregon man discovered earlier this month that his year-old Toshiba Corp. flat-screen TV was emitting an international distress signal picked up by a satellite, leading a search and rescue operation to his apartment in Corvallis, 70 miles south of Portland...Authorities had expected to find a boat or small plane with a malfunctioning transponder, the usual culprit in such incidents, emitting the 121.5 MHz frequency of the distress signal used internationally."
I've heard of malfunctioning TVs, but this is ridiculous. :lol:
