More RW rips on AM Boosters and AM Noise Levels? Um, yeah...
« on: February 05, 2025, 1816 UTC »
I don't subscribe to Radio World, but apparently Boomer does. And, when he find interesting stuff e-mailed to him, he has a tendency to share those. What's nice about that is it filters down to mainly the most interesting articles, like this one on AM Sync Boosters.  https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/synchronous-ams-long-and-tortuous-history    BTW, on-FREQ Boosters have also been used on FM, but I don't hear about their use today anymore. Mainly, just the litter of off-FREQ translators.
The other article is a 'know-schytt Sherlock' conclusion that pretty much most of us would come to upon AM noise.   https://www.radioworld.com/news-and-business/nrsc-releases-details-of-am-band-rf-noise-study  This big difference, someone got paid to do this study, and we didn't.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
