Anyway, I say thanks anyway and we hang up. I go outside to put the bike away and hear the beep again! I then realize that in the front of my bike I have a pouch where I keep my wallet and cell phone while riding! It was the phone!!! It's a new phone and I found out that when I have a missed call, it beeps every 10 minutes until I delete the missed call!!! I called the tech back to apologize and we both had a good laugh over it.
It reminds me of one night running the master control room at the first station I worked at. I was alone at the station in a room that monitors EVERYTHING, so if something was happening, I'd know about it.

At one point, I get a call from some guy. He says to me, "Why do you keep flipping on and off the air - it's really annoying!"

I ask him if he has the right station, since we haven't been off air at all that evening, and I'd know if we had.

His answer? "You sure as hell have been off the air! Get it fixed!" He then slams the phone down on me in my ear.

At least I can assume you were reasonably polite and you did call back to admit your error. The guy I talked to was a complete jerk and probably was looking at the wrong channel....
