Re: WAZN-- Music of Your Life
Sounds very much like what happens down here in the South Coast.....where 1320-WARL runs "Timeless Cool" basically during any hours that remain un$old.
As filler material......"MOYL" or "Timeless Cool" sure beats any number of alternatives....

Oldies actually sound like oldies on AM.

Could somebody in New York be working at cross-purposes from you. Saturday 2/11/2012 late afternoon/early evening, I caught the worst distortion I've heard yet on MOYL. It was a Michael Bublais (spelling?) cut and it was so badly distorted that the lyrics were unintelligible. Really ugly! I have a mental picture of you in Boston truning down the gain and somebody in New York turning it up even faster.
Although the Bublais instance was nominally music, the VT tracks are, as a class, the most distorted. A lot (though obviously not all) of the music has been pretty clean for the last couple of days.
I will try to talk to the folks in NY on Monday.
Again, this is a new thing for us, so we
are still trying to fine-tune it...

Yeah pronounced Boo-blay. Like Sade is pronounced Shar-Day. Have you seen my new Jar-Day (jade) ring?
I don't know whether or not the result is related to Jeff's tweaks and I don't know whether or not today's (Monday 2/13/2012) improvement will continue, but I had WAZN on from 3:30AM to 6:00AM this morning and I did not notice any of the audio distortion that had been plaguing the signal. I also don't know whether it is technically feasible to do anything about the audio bandwidth (my guess is that it's less than 5 kHz, so a little more--say, 6 kHz--would be nice) or the ac-line-related hum, which is not terrible but is certainly noticeable during the many pauses in the audio. My guess is that the hum does not originate locally because it seems to disappear during the TOH legal IDs.
BTW, since I don't read (or even copy) Morse code. can you tell me what the code during the TOH IDs is saying?

Morse code ID's -- that is all my idea! It is the ham operator
inside of me, I guess! I just thought it would be a wicked cool
thing to do. Approx. 35WPM code speed - it says WAZN Watertown.
The MOYL feed should sound much, much better, beginning tonight at 6pm.
I have been in touch with our people in NY, and major adjustments have been
made to the MOYL transmission path.

The Morse code ID is a nice retro touch to go with the retro music. You might change the code for holidays. For example, tomorrow evening (2/14), you could do Happy Valentine's Day. If you did that, you might even get occasional e-mails from other Hams.
As for the audio, it is much improved. Some cuts even sound good but a few are still marginal. This evening around 8:40, IIRC, Ain't Misbehavin' by Bobby Darrin (at least it sounded like him) seemed to be on the edge of distortion. A lot of people probably wouldn't notice, but I think I have trained my ears to pick up the third-harmonic junk that goes with clipping on peaks. Still, it sounds WAY better than it did last week! Last week, some of the music and most of the VTs sounded pretty rough.

I wonder if there is anyone at the FCC that can even read Morse thee days?
Tradition at WTIC Hartford is to send the morse code for V at the top of the hour. V for victory.
Sounds like the first notes of Beethoven's fifth. One might hear it during a Red Sox game
or whatever
From WTIC entry in Wikipedia:
>>WTIC, a class A station on a clear channel, is known for its historic time tone, which is a broadcast of the Morse code letter "V" every hour on the hour since 1943. This makes it one of the oldest continuously broadcasting radio time tones in the world....The notes of the sequence were pitched to mimic the famous opening sequence of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, whose "short-short-short-long" rhythm matches that of the Morse code letter "V". The Morse code letter "V" for Victory was selected during the height of WWII.
