[BC] early multiband

[Barry Mishkind]

When Mike and I were building the first DAPs, I remember him telling 
me of a couple of preliminary efforts made in the LA area. I think he 
tried one at KGFJ, which involved splitting the audio between two 
boxes - I can't remember the units.  Also, there were some rumblings 
over at RKO's KHJ around that time.

Mike and I tried as many as eight bands before reducing it to 
three.  (Man, was that monolith something! ... )
