Well, a doctor I used to patronize didn't have muzak (as such) on his
phone system, but his office is located near the WCAO transmitter in
Baltimore City.  I guess his phone line ran real near the tower, 'cause
you could hear the station quite clearly when you were on hold. In fact you
could hear it pretty clearly even when they were trying to talk to you.
