Hi all.
I've managed to upload a high-quality recording of WDR 1Live on 107.9 received here during recent FM lift conditions. Beware though, the file is big at 161.5 MB. I decided to do a HQ version to demonstrate the great audio quality from German pop stations, and it really does show how poor BBC Radio 1 and most UK commercial stations sound in comparison. This was recorded from a Yamaha T-85 tuner directly onto CD via a Tascam CD-RW900SL CD recorder and then converted to a WAV file using Audacity.

My amp and speakers are modest but I think it still shows how much better the Germans are at providing good quality audio on their pop stations. Why Radio 1 have to use such ridiculous amounts of compression is beyond me...
I'd be very interested in opinions on this clip. Beware, I think there may be a naughty word or two from the presenter at one point. Hope the link works!
Regards,
Nick
