Chuckle, and many thanks Larry. I'll have to admit that I did get a bit 
of a grin after the fact in explaining the cause of that particular 
broadcasters major pain in the ass to a papered FCC engineer. ;-)  He 
did "get" it FWIW.  He also tore up the $27,500 citation he was going to 
issue because he had measured 46 units of burst in the on air signal the 
night before, when he saw that a diode, which doesn't lie without a huge 
amount of help, said about 19.5 and the R&S monitor worth about 10 grand 
more than what he had in the truck said 39 units. s/b 40.  Since the 
diode measure both sidebands, but the lower one is missing, it only 
shows half of what the NTSC signal has when the monitor (or the common 
tv,) is properly aligned and fine tuned correctly.  We also had 
automatic correctors for that sort of things which would never have 
allowed that 12% error to get past it.

Has Carol written anything new lately?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
