Anyone remember similar experiences to this? I'm just listening to a tape made 
in 1960 (I recorded it, in fact) off the CBC's FM station in Toronto, and while 
the quality is excellent and free from interference, every so often there's a 
brief series of clicks..because someone elsewhere in the house changed the 
television channel.

We were a family of tape fiends. Schedules were noted..taping off AM was even 
worse, since light switches, television, running the dishwasher, opening the 
fridge, just about anything involving electricity would cause clicks, buzzing, 
static, whistle etc. As my mother frequently replied, "I can't pee in the dark."
