low voice modulation

Post by Axel »

Hello,
during a very short band check on Sunday morning I heard Daniel McQueen with Radio Thunderbird with a very stable signal on 51m. It sounded like O=3 but the signal strength was 0=2 only. So he had a loud modulation.
If a signal of a station is weak it is important that the voice modulation is as loud as the music to identify it. But most stations produce loud music but have a faint voice modulation. Daniel McQueen voice was pretty well to understand. I remember some holidays far away in which only three stations producing a low signal strength in connection with a loud voice modulation: Alfa Lima, Spaceman and Likedeeler.
I have no problem to follow the music concerning most of my UNIDs. But when they are talking it is a SINPO = 1 only.
