KSKY (660) HD 92.9 FM signal has static in it's transmission

[TheRover]

For several weeks now, KSKY's HD signal on 92.9 FM has had static with it's transmission.

Didn't notice the static, but I DO hear plenty of distortion in the audio. It also sounds under modulated.

That's so you can realize that you're listening to an AM station.

There' still static in the background of KSKY's FM broadcast on 92.9 FM.

The AM broadcast on 660 sounds much better than the FM signal.

If there's static on the 660 signal, it's way in the background.

So, is this thread a subtle hint for the engineers or is this all you can talk about regarding radio? Why not just call the business line and tell them in person.

I think you're right. It sounds terribly under modulated. I just stick with 660 AM rather than mess with the FM signal.

Done that, over a week ago...

At times this is the best "hotline" to many in programming and engineering. There are tons of times it seems to have worked much better than direct...

I didn't get to speak to the eng. anyway. I got his VM, and left my number if they needed to call me. But why???? The problem is self evident. I assume they care, but that it will cost $$ to fix, and they're not going there right now.

Yeah. If they don't know about it in a day or two from listening or someone within their own group telling them they either don't care or it's a technical issue still pending something to get it right (maybe money too... Sometimes management chooses to do nothing even with an engineer telling they need to fix it)
