Wicked Ways

February 7, 2012 by Carl Blare

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

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.

    Nah
    Sneak out one night, in cloak and dagger form and just rotate that 170.7 FM tower the other direction!

    Easy enough! 😉
