That was all analog back then, so pretty much all you had to do was 
overpower it.

I wonder if there was any security in place on STL back then.  I 
wonder if there is today.

I remember when it happened.  Captain Midnight happened a few years prior.  And 
someone fired up an earthstation on Dan Rather’s evening news broadcast and 
double illuminated the satellite on accident.  He got fired.

I've read about it before.  Sounds like the prevalent theory is that the 
prankster(s) hijacked the STL connections in both incidents.  

I wonder if there was any security in place on STL back then.  I wonder if 
there is today.
