Mega's Processing

O

So I'll admit I don't often listen to Mega, but it does occupy a place on my second set of presets. I tuned in the other day, and was shocked by how bad the station sounded. They kept trumpeting their newly improved signal on 104.3, but both frequencies only sound marginally better than AM. Is there any reason for this, or do they just not have a competent engineer to handle their processing?

On Thursday night Mega had some technical problems and was nothing but carrier for hours. By Friday morning, they had fired up their Payson transmitter as they worked on the new rig. The sound quality improved while they were back on from the rim. Later that afternoon, they returned to the air from the Bradshaws and their audio was not fixed.

I figure that they haven't gotten to problem-solving the audio chain issue because

1. It's got to be a tough climb to their new site, especially during monsoon season.

and

2. Their contract engineer is the Chief Engineer for another Valley radio cluster.

I figure someone involved with this situation is reading these boards, and should be aware of what needs to be done to make the station sound clean again.

three hour drive one way to the site

yes

the "contract engineer" is not controlling the audio processing
