I get an odd crackling and russling for like 5seconds, then a click and it is fine again. Get it almost every phonecall I ever make, land or cell:
'Echelon is perhaps the most powerful intelligence gathering organization in the world. Several credible reports suggest that this global electronic
communications surveillance system presents an extreme threat to the privacy of people all over the world. According to these reports, ECHELON
attempts to capture staggering volumes of satellite, microwave, cellular and fiber-optic traffic, including communications to and from North America.
This vast quantity of voice and data communications are then processed through sophisticated filtering technologies.
This massive surveillance system apparently operates with little oversight. Moreover, the agencies that purportedly run ECHELON have provided few
details as to the legal guidelines for the project. Because of this, there is no way of knowing if ECHELON is being used illegally to spy on private
citizens. '

I also live near one of their larger centers for listening posts, in Europe. So, it's understandable. (Although, I have nothing to hide all they get
to listen to is dodgy phone calls between me and my girlfriend...lucky computer.)
But, it probably 'happens' to a lot of people on any forum like this. If you challenge governments, you're a target for them - just encase.
