Re: Nautel MA3 All Digital AM

I'll have to try and DX for this. Would be interesting to hear.

I drive a C-MAX and have no problem with AM reception (HD or otherwise)

Re: CIDR....hilarious

it did seem to get better for a bit, but now is 2x worse than it was to begin with. Seems like simply turning down the level going into the exciter would fix it temporarily? guess that's why i'm not an engineer :)

Re: Little bit of winter Tropo

Last few days have seen some Tr enhancement. Nothing much exciting, but a little fun for the winter season. Right now I'm hearing WWDK no matter which direction I point the antenna. Tri-Cities, Flint, Cleveland and SW Ontario stations are in well. 105.1 and 105.9 are getting weak when pointed SE (me...

Re: CW 50 co-channel interference?

Given the direction of my reception, I'm going to guess Chatham.

Re: WRIF's audio has gone to shit yet again

I noticed this this morning, especially on the HD stream (HD1). No bass.

Re: CIDR....hilarious

I think 88.7 and 93.9 have been forgotten about :(

Shame with such blowtorch sigs

Re: CW 50 co-channel interference?

Last night there was a lot of tropospheric enhancement in the region - very likely something else on RF34 was trying to wipe out WKBD.

I was listening to WQKL 107.1 Ann Arbor and kept getting WSAQ Port Huron, despite being less than 15 miles from WQKL's TX.

Re: CIDR....hilarious

yeah what I was talking about was mainly the overdriven audio. I talked to someone at the station yesterday, the claim is that an engineer is waiting on a piece of equipment to arrive.

Little bit of winter Tropo

Hearing all of the tri-cities stations as well as WGDN and a few outliers in stereo this morning from Sumpter Township. Z93 really screams in nowadays without IBOC on WDRQ.

CIDR....hilarious

Virgin radio has been running terrible audio for almost two weeks now, and no one here has noticed LOL (or at least posted about it). Goes to show what their listenership looks like. I miss the river.

Re: WRIF's audio sounds like shit again

There were brief periods this past summer where WRIF's audio sounded really good, then days later, it would start sounding like crud again. There's something in the "stack" that makes it sound so piss poor. We could be hearing different things, but the tinny crapshot sound that I notice is definite...

Re: WRIF's audio sounds like shit again

The first one does indeed sound close to the horrendous recording WRIF plays, although I'd say the WRIF version sounds worse yet since their audio settings artificially speed up the song. Not only that, but I've learned to recognize when other stations use the same shitty processor as WRIF.....It a...

Re: Fred Durst OMG!!

Another 'Bizkit fan here - got me through my angsty teen years.

I'm pretty sure Durst's image these days is very much on purpose. His whole act is all about being old and washed up. Couldn't have marketed it better! It's working (you guys are talking about it :) )

I'd go see them live these days
