Vinylthon 2021, this SAT, April 17th.
« on: April 13, 2021, 2000 UTC »
Locally, our LPFM is doing this,   https://wtsq.org/   I am more surprised upon what stations are not on the Vinylthon list,     https://www.vinylthon.com/stations         Sounds like fun, anyway.

Re: Vinylthon 2021, this SAT, April 17th. Interesting audio observations here.

That was a lot of fun, and some craziness. I lost a UPS Back-Up that afternoon in my studio. (Of all the times for that to happen, of course.). There were two known Part #15 AM stations that took part in this as well, linked to the wtsq.com stream. However, one interesting observation that was noticed from both the wtsq.org stream-feed and the OTA FM 88.1FM signal during the time that LP's and 45's were only played from 9AM to 7PM. The audio was superb! Yes, vinyl scratches, picks, and hisses, but no MP3 artifacts, like is at times heard when the station runs the Radio DJ automation software. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... On the FM dial in Charleston, WV, they had the best sounding FM station from 9AM to 7PM. What does that tell ya?
