Bose processing...was Re: [BC] QUESTION FOR THE "MIND" MASSES

[Steve]

Don't feel bad Alan. I have trouble hearing our 1KW daytimer Non D and I'm
15 minutes from the station. Must be the ground conductivity of 2 we have
here. This is a '94 Caddy with AM Stereo. Ha! Talk about narrowband. Mud
city. I had a car when I was living in Seattle...WOW...that car's AM sounded
like the FM. I like to hear that sideband spitting sound when I'm twisting
the dial. Remember twisting the dial? I feel your pain. :)
