Alas, today I found WWNN 1470 Pompano Beach, FL, abandoned the serenity of
hisslessness, re-stoking their hiss engine sending plumes of vile
putrescence cascading across the radio dial.
They had let the flames of disruption die 2/10, after a period of on again
off again inconstantence. This longer reprieve had raised hopes the
monster had been buried deep to end it's dragon breath stench, but now it
is too obvious such was not the case.
Further on the fine art of hissyness, for the first time today I heard 560
WQAM Miami, promo'ing their HD broadcasts as "crystal clear
digital". Funny how that crystal clearness doesn't compare well at all
with 610 WIOD. Both Miami, both 5kW, both with daytime patterns that match
across my abode -- the only discernable difference is the better sound from
WIOD. Much more background noise on WQAM, and off tuning just a bit --
like a normal human being might with a typical radio -- added hiss joins
the weaker signal to give a curious new meaning to crystal clear. But then
maybe I don't understand the notion of crystal clear sports talk. The
reference may be more a comparison with what one might expect from a cat's
whisker.
