[BC] Silly engineer tricks

[Tom Spencer]

The interesting thing about doing it that way would be to listen to what 
happens to the high frequency audio in the receiver once the pilot light 
is enabled - that usually means the demux circuitry is unmuted, even in 
the old tube MPX converters.  Wandering highs might even make it sound 
stereo... much like is done deliberately in the Orban mono-to-stereo 
converter.

The stereo lamp would probably light even if the pilot was 100 Hz off. Remember that the idea make it seem that the station was transmitting stereo, i.e., illuminate that #47 pilot light (no LEDs in those days).
