	1. Ghosting. A multiple picture on your analogue TV screen. Phantom sounds on your radio. Thought to be caused by reflections from buildings, tall trees or cranes. Under certain weather conditions television signals can travel much further than usual, and unwanted signals from distant or unauthorised transmitters can haunt reception from your local transmitter. The Talking Birds radio was taken to the Medieval Basement under Coventry Tourist Information where very low frequency sound waves trapped inside are the conduit for four hundred year old messages.


	2. The Domestic Home Anomalous sounds are caused by accoustic inversions and also EM 'hotspots' created by house wiring, and sited above geo magnetic faults containing magnetite. A high thermostat sound bite.


	3. Cork Gaol The old Cork Gaol used to be both a prison and radio station. Listen carefully to that white noise - hear them rattling the bars?


	4. Underground Telephone Exchange Most cities have one, hidden from the population but walked over ever day. A walk with the Talking Birds radio in central Seattle picked up something.


	5. The Upper Stratosphere In 1963 the American Air Force released four hundred million tiny antennas into orbit to see if radio waves would bounce off them. They are all still up there. Zipping through space like needles. The Talking Birds radio was fired from a rocket launched from the grassy knoll on the ring road’s Junction 8 roundabout to intercept these needles. It picked up the following:


	6. Subway DJ’s. Strange messages were picked up on the following frequencies and daubed on the subway walls: Orange subway - 187.4 kHz Spon End subway - 67.4 kHz Whitefriars subway - 45. 2 kHz Railway subway - 123.4 kHz


	7. The Channel A radio was washed up on Brighton seafront. It carried with it the weakened signal of a sinking aerial.


	8. Heaven Broadcasts from Heaven can be found by standing at the corner of Corporation Street, Coventry and tuning into 254.8kHz. Transcript of Today’s broadcast are to be found here.


	9. Corley Service Station. If you travel at the regulation 70 mph there is a 0.87 second burst of interference as you drive under the walkway which spans the M1 motorway. If you break down on the hard shoulder and walk slowly underneath the walkway the interference is heard.
