Please Help Decipher Mystery Word in 910 WFDF Promo

Post by Radiobirdman » Mon Apr 08, 2024 4:53 pm

In a often run promo, WFDF runs a bit with a gag that someone wants to broadcast only out of the right channel of their new WOMC-HD2 repeater. At the end the announcer says "Where right is right, and left "________." It sounds like he's saying "an alsomato" which makes no sense of course. I've listened with the sound up and even asked my wife to guess. I can't figure out what is being said and I'm wondering about it more than I should. Does anyone know?

WFDF broadcasts at 910 kHz, not 930.

And also mono, which would refer to AM.

Since the last time I checked, the IBOC sidebands around 910 kHz are still there, so I assume it would still be possible to broadcast in Stereo on the AM signal. I'll check for the sidebands later when the skywave starts rolling in. I'll have to check the Accurian when I have access to it.

The IBOC Sidebands are there. So Stereo should be possible on the AM signal.
