optimizing audio to send to WBCQ

PhreakinDeacon:
Heyyyy.... that sounds like a comment from a real zappa head.
That reminds me of someone.
I'll really appreciate the guys over there taking care of me.
One Larry W on Swling post states, "But more and more, it seems like these fringe “our way or the highway” types are just QRM that we have to navigate to get to the good nuggets."
For what it's worth, there's a lot of us that aren't bigoted and know the Earth's not flat, so maybe my brand is at least the lesser of evils even if I'm just crazy... I dunno.
I absolutely never expected to believe in an anthropomorphic God and certainly not as a Christian. I grew up on Carl Sagan, Allan Watts, putting stuff in orbit with my dad, and digging up proof of a good deal of evolution with my own two hands.
My 180 comes after what amounts to the closest thing possible to a repeatable scientific experiment that, now, keeps yielding results (which were against everything I formerly believed) until I'm now at... maybe a few hundreds of thousands of millions to one against not having tuned in quite unexpectedly but successfullyto what started out to be an elusive QRP signal but wound up being the ultimate QRO broadcaster of the cosmos.
And I was equally surprised when that "higher power" led me to the Christ paradigm instead of.... pretty much anything else.
At least the start of the show will sound interesting to most anybody, and I'll have it to the studio by Monday night.
To do what I'm called to do I'll have to get boring for some folks for part of the show.
I'll call and bother Allan about making sure a download link to a 16 bit .wav is acceptable as a submission since it's been a little hard to get an answer.
I will never forget my roots or frame of mind before this life-altering "discovery" happened to me.
It seemed so clear it was all BS for the intellectually stunted.
And I resented narrow-mindedness, prejudice, and hypocrisy.
Now, though, I'm noticing as much of that everywhere. Real progressive.
Zappa was pretty funny. I'll never hear Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds the same ever again. ::) ;D

Pigmeat:
So, you finally saw "200 Motels" and found out Zappa was God, eh?

Brian:
Don't optimise the audio at all.
If you want, normalise it  but leave the optimising to the station.

Brian:
I appreciate your input... I know this is definitely the case with some stations... but are you sure this is the case with a bargain basement discount offer specifically on WBCQ's cheapest way to go? If it was my station, yeah, I'd say leave it to me. But I began to think this could be a case of DIY when it comes to a modicum of compression (?) and I know they're not relying on me cutting the lows and esp. the highs (I always see them leaving a 10kHz waterfall and that's the audio highs cutting off at 5kHz on AM) but doing low pass filtering at 5kHz myself won't double up on anything even if they do it and it allows me to listen to the "damage it does" top certain tracks and try to compensate a little by cranking up a band or two on the EQ during like a zither track or something, which I would only expect a paid sound engineer to do for way more than a few bucks an hour, not that he doesn't know how of course, but I'm just feeling privileged to even be tolerated here. Even though they're linked to a "ministry" that depicts Nazi-looking, exaggerated Jew faces connected to snake bodies with Star of David rattlesnake tails, but you know, freedom of speech and all, and something that I find distasteful or even kinda harmful doesn't make my programming any more of an entertaining relief for an "unbeliever's" relaxing evening after a hard day's work.
Except if you tune in right at 8PM EST Thursday night 6/28 (0000 UTC Fri. morn.) you'll catch a couple minutes of stuff at the very bweginning that would easily wind up on Radio Free Euphoria or Area 51. But then I'll have to chill out a bit because I am earnestly trying to do the not-particularly-bonkers overseas border blaster ministry mission I describe, and I am genuinely dedicated to the cause with everything I've got.
I decided not to play "Brother Stair's-way to Heaven" because it might be counterproductive or even dangerous.
I'm a well-wisher.
I'm trying to be a good Christian even if I don't think he's the neck between Jesus and the Body of Christ, and I've even heard him make sense more times than I almost want to admit, intermittently.

Thanks for your input Brian. If I sound like crap you can say "I told you so"

JimIO:
Stations don't change technical standards based on what they charge for air time. You think too much.
