I think it is absurd it was taken off FM, better quality, more distance. Silly.

(source: text alert from Baltimore Sun)

What are your thoughts?

I thought AM had more distance than FM?

It's baseball and voice, not like you need digital quality.

Of course, I am old school, grew up listening to the games on the old handheld transistor radio. :)

FM signals travel over much shorter distances than AM; however, FM is far more immune to noise

and interference and has a much better frequency response and higher fidelity. The overall quality

of the FM signal (noise level, dynamic range and so on) you receive is dependent upon the quality

of the transmitted signal, your antenna, and by the sensitivity, selectivity and quality (in terms of

fidelity and musical accuracy) of your radio or receiver. We mentioned that AM signals, which

are much lower in frequency than FM signals, travel much farther than very high frequency FM

signals. erefore, there is more of a potential for two or more AM stations to bereceived at the same

time. The signals from AM stations can travel hundreds of miles, and it’s possible that distant

stations on the samefrequency can be heard along with a local station’s broadcast. In contrast, this

is usually not an issue with local and distant FM stations broadcasting on the same frequency.

That’s because of the relatively short distances FM signals can be transmitted over the Earth’s

surface compared to AM (and other radio bands). Also, FM tuners have the ability to capture the

strongest FM signal available and reject weaker signals on the same frequency.

I can't speak to the distance everywhere but I know I have generally an easier time getting 105.7. It is blocked on Tunein Radio, etc because of zmLB licensing.

FM is typically 30-40 miles before you get out of range.

AM can typically top that in the daytime and at time, can bounce and travel a couple of hundred miles.

I don't really know, but it sounds like the quality is the big question. I would have preferred FM. Anyone know if there was in validity to their beef with 105.7?

Btw-Sorry to hear about Shanahan. Not sure who is worse, Snyder or Angelos. I am sure firing a coach with 2 super bowl rings is really going to fix that:)...Sigh...Skins and Orioles: two of the worst ownership groups in sports.

Orioles and WBAL have a very long history together.

Shanny had one winning season in 4 years, not like he had a quick trigger.

Danny wants to win and loves the game.

Angelos couldn't give a crap if they won.

Shannahan is a good coach. (Bronco fan here). It won't get better with another coach.

Good point on Snyder, I agree with that. I still think he is awful though.

I live in Connecticut. In southern CT, at night during the summer, you can on occasion pick up a Baltimore AM channel.

As to the thread...How much did they pay for the rights and can we sign a player for it? :rofl:

      Umpire Scorecard Thread

      The missed third strike on Justin Turner in the 8th inning was one of the worst calls I've seen. He got lucky with the pitch clock strikeout to Devers but Baker gets out of that inning without giving up a run if that's called correctly.

      This is a pretty broad leap from signing Frazier, or trading Lopez, leading to Grayson being in in a mid-relief role.

      Lamar Rumors

      By Hallas · Posted

      1: I literally said, "there is big downside risk obviously." 2: Vick improved his passing in his early 30s before I think he got hurt and lost his starting job.  Lamar could do the same, which would counteract his loss of athleticism.  A ton of other quarbacks that improved in their late 20s early 30s.  Geno Smith wasn't a starter until he was, at age 33.  Alex Smith had worse accuracy numbers than Lamar for the first 5 years of his career before he figured it out.  You speak in absolutes as if you know exactly what's going to happen in the future with Lamar. 3: In 2029 you might be looking at backup qbs with 20 million salaries.  He'll still be tradeable if you really want to walk from him.  If you think he should be tradeable now then he'll likely be tradeable in 4-5 years. 4: Maybe we have different definitions of baggage, but when I think baggage, I think Aaron Rodgers going on darkness retreats and keeping the Packers in contract limbo for like 5 straight years.  Or Russell Wilson's office and plane ride antics.  Or Deshaun Watson.  Or Myles Garrett when he swung his helmet.  Lamar is negotiating a contract.  Poorly?  maybe, but that's not really baggage.

      Ramon Urias 2023

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Not disagreeing with you it’s just a team that would likely trade for Urias would be “contending”.  Those types of teams just don’t trade away pitching. They don’t. So we’re looking at a prospect return, when right now we need MLB immediate help.

      Baltimore Sun on John Angelos interview

      By dtk9119 · Posted

      Totally agree. The guy is a buffoon pure and simple. Might actually be WORSE than his father. I am starting to feel like this team will not be sold and we will be stuck w/ mediocrity for decades more to come. Prove me wrong John! Extend Adley and Gunnar and sign some bigger free agents next off season.

      Appears Grayson pitched his way to AAA to start the year

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We desperately need Grayson to pitch his way into our rotation so that we can bump Wells to the pen. We might be better with Voth in the rotation over Wells right now because we need MR/SU help bad.

      2023 Defense Thread

      By jamalshw · Posted

      I know that they played the same positions last year at Fenway, but I almost wonder if it would make more sense to just leave Hays in LF and Santander in RF (when he's in the OF) regardless of stadium. I get the logic of Hays covering more ground, but there is an adjustment to how the ball comes off the bat and I wonder if the overall defense throughout the course of the season would be improved if they consistently get the same looks, playing the same positions. Ultimately, it probably doesn't matter, but just me wondering.
