solar flaresOriginally Posted by BRealistic
I heard a loud pop on the radio this evening at the office and the radio station went dead.
I then tried another station and everything was just static.
Not even any barely perceptible music in the static.
Perplexed at maybe my old Sony radio finally biting the dust, I asked a coworker in another office to check his radio.
He couldn't get anything either.
This went on for about ten minutes.

What type of device could block all FM stations?

Bath Salts
Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. A normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

I hadn't thought of bath salts.
But how would being bat **** crazy affect my radio reception?

Maybe if you're on bath salts... everyone else hears music, but you just hear static? Originally Posted by BRealistic

By the way, your thread title specifies "FM stations".... does this mean you were still able to tune in AM stations?
