[AMRadio] Good or bad?

[Dave Mayfield W9WRL]

I have seen these numbers and they are skewed in some way. I recall an 
article a few months ago that explained these numbers, as I recall these 
numbers count all the vanity and and call sign changes.  I think there 
is more to it than that, but these numbers are skewed.

Anyone recall what I'm talking about
