CKWW sounds like hot garbage

Post by edj » Sun Apr 28, 2024 10:00 am

Horrendous hum and poor modulation currently on 580. CKLW meanwhile is fine.

The modulation doesn't seem unusual (it's the same mediocre strength it's been for a long time), but I can definitely hear the hum, especially during non-music content.

I noticed the same. Thought it was my radio or some interference in the house, so I switched radios and relocated. Still a hum.

Same experience regarding a hum.

As the hum continues, the sound reminds me of my stereo system in the 1970's. If the turntable wasn't grounded, a hum occurred. Perhaps something at CKWW isn't grounded?

How much longer before the format is changed?

That high pitched hum is definitely not a ground wire. :lol

I'm not sure what it is, but the CE should be able to pinpoint it (assuming there's still one on the payroll)

Listen online. No buzzing and digital quality.
