We've all done it.  I did it when I started in Portland, particularly when I
was doing a newscast and one of those noisy flying machines from the Jetport
came right over the station and scared the heck out of me.  No one told me that
I was a flight controller.

Here's another situation.  I do news for three stations in the morning.  Two
are taped and the third is live.  You have to pay attention remember what calls
and format to use, especially if you're rushed.  :)
