I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

I don't know how "huge" this is.  The encoder with the vulnerability is a low-end encoder bought by folks that were too cheap to buy a Sage, and probably don't check their logs anyway.  I believe that the commission revoked the type acceptance to those units years ago, deeming them illegal to use in a FCC licensed station in the first place.
