WHAM 1180

[wxctintern]

I was listening to Kim Komando last nigt on WHAM 1180 via skywave down in Souhtington, Connecticut last night. The station for the most part was clear, except for a station playing Cuban music under it. The audio on Kim Komando sounds different than the audio I heard while listening to Kim Komando yesterday morning on WICC 600 out of Bridgeport, which is a semi-local station where I live in Southigton. What is WHAM doing to Kim Komando that WICC is not doing besides the obvious that Kim Komando is live on WICC and on a 11 or 12 hour delay on WHAM? Whatever they're doing to the audio of that show doesn't seem to be occuring during the CBS News Update and the local weather forecast from the WHAM-13 Weather Center.

Could be the way the program is recorded and stored in the hard drive as mp2 or mp3. Algorhythms, sample rates, bit rates and all the stuff that gets taken for granted. It can get pretty dicey when the 0's and 1's don't line up properly.

Tesla Coil, care to contribute?
