We have Hertz, Amperes, and Volts. How about a unit of
scarcity, in Stinson units? Or call it the "Stinson Scale",
like the Richter Scale idea. ( except not a geometric or
exponential progression ).
To calibrate the end points, consider a ham-modified 
BC-645: they're available, but no one wants them. That
would be zero. A "10" would be Dave's example of "M"
A.R.C. sets.  The BC-348 would be about a 5, equilibrium.
What say?   -Hue Miller  K7HUE
