Does anybody know whether WEAE-AM 1250 is testing some sort of digital service?
For the past couple of days the fidelity of their audio has been horrible....scratchy, tinny....sort of like a phone line with the old Export Telephone Co. I notice that if I tune the slightest bit in either direction off dead center I pick up a swishing noise that sounds somewhat like a dial-up modem. I do not detect this on any other AM station. Normally they are the clearest and strongest AM signal at my house. Am I right in assuming that this is some sort of digital test? If so, is this an indication of their level of regard for their still-analog audience? If the quality of the audio is any indication, they may as well shut it down and mail in their license right now. ???
