LAS VEGAS Radio World newspaper today announced the winners of radio’s most prestigious technology honor, the “Cool Stuff” Award.
The award means a product was selected by a panel of engineers and technical experts as notable for its design, features, cost efficiency and performance in serving radio users. It also means the product caused them to stop in the aisles and say, “Oh, cool!”

The awards were announced at the NAB2005 convention by Radio World U.S. Editor in Chief Paul McLane.
