If I ask my name, it comes up all the time and frequently.
including answers before the question is even asked. This is a very common occurrence

It's just random snippets from radio broadcasts. It makes for audio pareidolia, trying to make these sounds fit what one is looking for. You see a lot of this happen on TV (Ghost Adventures, I'm looking at you) where they REALLY stretch to make things fit
t's a radio receiver that scans for a signal. But it has the stop function removed from the scanner so unlike a normal receiver that stops at a signal it keeps scanning. So it only picks up a fragment of a signal then moves to the next and so on.

so in theory you could be receiving answers from someone down the street. Do you receive answer in English or is it code. If someone from China used it would they speak back in Mandarin? ?

I once believed like you... until I didn't.
Hearing direct answers to questions in real-time should have been enough.. but after going back and reviewing recordings (both before and after noise reducing).. and hearing more of them answering...
Well.. I can say I'm no longer a sceptic... Unfortunately, nothing anyone can say has been able to unconvince me that some form of communication is occurring.. with someone(s) capable of conversation.

I would love to hear the static but alas I am deaf. I am very visual since I am deaf so it tends to be spooky when I watch the static on TV when I was young. Sometimes the patterns would persist for a few moments.

I don't know how, but I believe, as well as others, that disembodied spirits or interdimensional beings etc. can come through between the sweeping channels. The radios are tweaked so that they don't stay on one station, but scans through them quickly. The voices seem to come through between the static. Again, I don't know how, but it works. I don't need any convincing. I'm way beyond that now. I have seen more than enough evidence of my own.

Wrong, it doesn't work that way at all. There are no mechanics involved for it to work like that. It would require a computerized function and voice recognition and complicated algorithms and input to make it "answer" the way a person wanted it to.
It would be much easier if you just admit you don't believe in spirits, ghosts, etc.

LOL. No, it wouldn't. And in order to believe that, one has to be overwhelmingly ignorant as to how the human brain works. Our brains actively seek out patterns. Even when we aren't actively looking for patterns or connections, our brains are subconsciously looking for them anyways. So when one is actively searching for those things, it's even more pronounced. Our brains are literally wired to recognize things and make connections and form patterns, even where none of those things exist. Random noises sounder like someone calling our name. Music played backwards sounds like familiar phrases. Random patterns look like faces. If anything is even remotely close, our brain interprets them as something that we are familiar with. So even when someone isn't actively trying to search for phrases in random noise, our brains will interpret that noise as something familiar such as a name or phrase. When one is actively trying to find certain phrases in random noise, it's going to find them Because it wants to hear them.
i mean, seriously... you may as well just have typed "I know absolutely nothing whatsoever about the way our brains work. Or psychology, or human evolution, or pattern recognition, or the law of near-enough, or pareidolia, or any of the other multitude of logical and scientific reasons for this phenomenon."
