Default The Worst Audio on Shortwave...

....and the best:

I'd be interested to know if anyone can top the unbelievably bad
quality on this broadcast last night from WWCR:

http://liberty.3950.net/WWCR_4840kHz...2-0230amET.mp3

It sounds like the African Holy Roller service source material had
nearly supernaturally grotesque distortion to begin with, but when
you add to that WWCR's earbleed-inducing audio processing, the
resulting audio is so bad that it really needs a new term to
describe it. "Low-fi" is too kind. Maybe "negative-fi."

Just by way of contrast, here's a recording that shows how good
shortwave audio can be -- same receiver, same recording setup, as
the foregoing file:

http://liberty.3950.net/WA3VJB%20729...7PM%20ET. mp3


With all good wishes,


Kevin, WB4AIO.
