Didn't the Russians install them

As I recall, there was this phenomenon where some people were hearing clicking noises that didn't register on any microphone. Turns out it was a pulsed microwave, and the click actually was just in their head - a very slight heat expansion of the skull, sudden enough to be audible to the person who's skull expanded. --------------------------------------- I think it's perfectly clear we're in the wrong band.

There was a way to bug a room using IIRC a small resonant chamber (hidden in the target room, obviously) and a strong radio wave from outside. The bugger simply monitered the disruption to his radio beam from the chamber and got audio back. Required quite a strong radio beam; probably strong enough for some brains to notice. Wouldn't work today; far too much RF about. I saw this in a special about electronic spying a few years ago. I think it was the Russians who came up with it early in the 20th century. Wade.
