They must be rebroadcasting the 32k stream. Because the 128k maxes out quickly, and it throws me off all the time, I cant imagine someone using the 128k stream for their Pirate/part 15, or whatever it is, since it is very unreliable. If they are rebroadcasting the 32k stream, that must sound like crap. Low bandwidth streams sound terrible, when rebroadcasted over fm, I know this, because I tried it last summer, before my Ramsey got stolen, and that was the end of fm pirate broadcasting for me.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">
