Almost fell out off the couch. I was watching TV and there was a national commercial that featured Ham Radio. This is not some cheesy local affiliate news filler or a two-bit webcast but an actual professionally produced commercial that features Ham Radio broadcast on national TV. It is a bit of a stretch to link the product they are selling to Ham Radio but nice to see ham radio included.

The meter to the right is that "0" centered? Is that a CB radio?

Simon,
Velveeta is a cheese product, and also a brand name.

Recently they have been branching out into prepared products which use it.
