Jason,I DO condone (in fact,I have a few "gadgets" here,they are legal)
listening to private conversations.You probally had your radio tuned to
somewhere around the AM 800 band and you was picking up some regular
telephone conversations on that band.Fairly common,it used to be.But
what with the advent of digital spred spectum modern day telephones and
cell phones (mobile phones) it is getting rare to pick up such
conversations on radio.
