[BC] Mono Expands on the FM Band

[Thomas G. Osenkowsky]

I could never understand stereo in the first place. OK,
humans have two ears so stereo gives us two speakers.
But we also have two eyes. Why not two televisions
side by side? We have two arms. Why not two steering
wheels in motor vehicles? Stereo just never made sense
to me. Phasing problems, need two of everything, who
ever thought up stereo? Quad? What a laugh!

A mono FM signal has many potentials with FM Extra.
The hiss problem was masked by auto blending and hi
end rolloff in auto radios. Band-Aids on gushing wounds.

WLNG in Sag Harbor, NY has been mono for years. Paul
Sidney won't hear of stereo!
