The car radio's the only one I own with that problem. I've tried my
Grundig
YB-something around town and it's fine. I guess I have to live with it.
Fortunately, it's not my most important radio station. Not worth pursuing,
other than as a matter of curiosity. I'm currently stuck in an apartment
where security is an issue. I'll be a homeowner (again) shortly, at which
point, along comes a nice Alpine radio. I'd install one now, but my
landlord
has issues with tenants shooting thieves in the parking lot, and we have
several of them around here.
If you have a headphone jack you can pickup a car cd-adapter kit and use the
better radio...(It's usually either a cassette with a wire coming out or a
small radio transmitter you put on a clear fm frequency to link to your
radio.) I do that to listen to SW in the car...

Good idea, but it's just one more thing to be stolen.

Useless post from a pompous ass.

You've designed an imperfect experiment. It is unlikely that the
most-powerful station would sell advertising if their signal sounded as
bad
as you describe. If the discussion is about the quality of the signal,
other
causes, such as equipment, location (which could result in multipath
interference, such as is observed in urban areas with tall, steel-frame
buildings, or mixing-product intereference caused by proximity to other
strong radio emitters), and user perception must be eliminated. Eg, do
other
people using other receivers in other locations in the Rochester area
report
similar characteristics of this station's signal? If so, then your
conclusion is valid. I think you're going to find, though, that your
receiver is at fault. It may not be tuning to the station's frequency;
off-frequency tuning of fm signals results in distortion. As it is a car
radio, I assume you are in motion while listening, which would tend to
make
multipath, front-end overload, or mixing product interference problems
intermittent and variable.

Laypersons frequently overlook the necessity for scientific rigor when
constructing hypotheses, leading to all sorts of wild ideas and stupid
laws.
It may in fact be the case that your local rocker is broadcasting a
distorted signal, but you have not presented sufficient evidence to make
that assertion. Therefore, further discussion of "why" is pointless.

chuckle It *did* sort of assume that someone is unemployed and has lots of
time to putter. :-)

That's the kind of response I'd expect from someone with a Tech license. Get
a real ham license, then maybe you'll be qualified to contribute to the
discussion, instead of simply squeaking from the peanut gallery.

Why don't you take your ham crap to an amateur group?

I was not referring to you CW but the guy that wants to start the
license one up man ship.

If Paul was a real man and knew what he was doing he'd get one of those
SWL license numbers.
