Mr. Bruce said: "This is a very frustrating hobby for sure. I am not sure if 100% of the problems are my ear nerve damage issues, I wonder if I'd be having this many problems if I was still eighteen and had no hearing issues."
I said: I wrecked my hearing on the flight deck of 2 aircraft carriers. Only to find out that the loudest jet the Navy flew to this date was the North American RA5C Vigilante. Can you gess what airplane my squadron flew?
Keep an eye on the sell area of this forum, as I have decided to sell off all my equipment and abandon this hobby, whatever is wrong with the audio is not fixable as one song plays with very little spectrum while a song called "Style" by Taylor Swift blows my transmitter all over the FM dial and blinks the hell out of any STEREO indicator on an FM stereo radio, it's a no win situation, either there's NO BASS or there's so much that the transmitter is over-driven to the point of total distortion and over driven. This situation is far worse than it ever was when I ran WXTZ 87.9 Norwich 9 months ago.
AM? I have a Chris Cuff AM Stereo C-Quam transmitter that can't get out 5 feet from the antenna and using any type of RF linear amplifier makes it illegal and requires a modified HAM band one to boot, since they do not exist specifically for the AM broadcast band. This transmitter was designed for a 5 feet MAXIMUM range when Chris designed it. That's been proven by those who own one, the output stage was designed for very limited distance.
Since I can not get things working as they should be for whatever reason the problem is happening, it's best to drop out of this and sell off the studio to someone who will enjoy it more than I do. Whatever is wrong, I can't find it and correct it and too many pieces of equipment can be the cause, but finding the real culprit isn't happening.
When my station was WXTZ at 87.9MHz things worked as they were supposed to, something, what? I do not know what, has changed and finding it is more than a headache than it's worth.
So I have decided to fold my station and find another interest that does require a radio engineer's education to enjoy.
I'll post a link once I have my equipment listed.
Bruce.
