[AMRadio] what is this????

[BILL GUYGER]

Maybe these guys are rating their antennas like the Hi Fi manufacturers use to 
use (and still may) where an amp with two 12AX7's in the output was capable of 
250 W. Integrated Dynamic Time Averaged Music Power. OK I made that up, but you 
all remember the  ridiculous phantom power rating systems that were thrown about 
for a while to snare the uneducated.

Along those lines.......I thought about a great bit over the weekend. How about 
going to one of those Red Box DVD rental machines, renting a handful of DVD's 
and putting a "Please be kind rewind" sticker on them and turning them back 
in to see how many people you could drive buggy trying to figure out how to do 
that?
