Am I the only one who is getting ready to stop listening to RCanadaI because
of the horrible broadcast quality. Hum is terrible & audio is distorted.
13.655 mhz is strongest here in KY but that means I hear more Hum.

I really enjoy Vinyl Cafe & Qirks / Quarks but I hate the audio .

I was using one of the R8B's and can detect a bit of hum when no audio is
being transmitted. I turned on the R7 and using the 8 kHz filter the hum is a
bit more apparent, but not really noticing any distortion.

The Hum is there @ 1440 on 13.655. The distortion went away around 1418. The
Hum at that time was more of a Buzz than a Hum.
Must just be my crappy receivers G

RCI is on Sirius satellite a couple times a day via WRN and As It
Happens is carried on PRI via Sirius.

Does it have the same Hum on the signal as via the Sackville transmitters?

I am going to get a Sirius setup if the NHL can get their dispute with the
players Union settled.

I was using a Ten-Tec RX340 & a Kenwood R-5000. Same results from both. No I
did not have the noise blanker on. No Hum on the other stations either.

I find it hard to believe I am the only one who thinks their transmitter
quality stinks. Reminds me of one of the religious stations on the lower
bands. HHHHHUUUUUMMMMMM.
