Wicked Ways

There’s no rest for the broadcaster and that proves we’re wicked.

Listening to AM1680 I so often hear yelling and screaming in the background behind my fine program. I know what it is. It’s noise being picked up on the FM STL.
Yes, AM1680 is fed from an FM receiver tuned to 101.9, receiving a signal from 30-feet away, a bamboo tri-pod tower, cage-monopole antenna and Wholehouse 2.0 transmitter.
The background is from 107.7, a high power station which plays the worst music ever heard.
The Wholehouse rig is omni-directional, the FM receiver has a dipole aimed for best reception, but the high power station is on the same directional plane.
If I weren’t so wicked I wouldn’t have these little rest stoppers.
What I may do is have my house rotated.
