    We listen to APHC here on WABE 90.1 FM.  They had a big fund-raising
drive a couple of years ago to go to 100,000 watts.  They made it.  
They now have 100kW of the worst signal in town.  One turntable has
a ground loop in it, and their stylii always need replacing.  Believe
me, I know, I'm a card-carrying member of the Audio Engineering Society.
I know bad sound when I hear it.  WABE appears to have "compression
phoebia".  They have no audio compression on anything.  This means
that on some of Garrison's monologues, when he gets real quiet, that
gentle hushed voice; he's down close to the noise floor on the FM
signal.  I know he's shy, but he doesn't have to be inaudible!
Anyway, enough for now.
