Mike,
I'm sure you're right about the origin of Graveyard. Until I read that explanation I had just never thought of it that way. Since the phrase is relatively new to me, I didn't think back to the 60s.
I like your WWWR explanation too. Maybe I'll have to steal it. The origin was with World Wide Web Radio, a name I used for my web site when streaming audio on a one time free service, now defunct. I had the email address set up and it seemed a good one to use for the radio related forums. At one time I tried having it changed on the IRCA list to my name, but for some reason my request never happened, so WWWR it still is.

Curt,
Way back in the 60s when graveyard stations ran either 100 or 250 watts at night, they were as densely packed as they are now...pretty much. They did get out though...far better than they do now. They were very much alive, whereas now they are dead because everyone is trying to be louder than everyone else. *I* think the term has more to do with the dense packaging.
By the way, does your nick "WWWR" stand for World Wide Wobbler Reporter?
