Hello there,
This week, I've finally replaced my old little own-made Yagi :2 elements, 300 ohms wire for the main element and metal rod for the director. All of this on a wood frame on the rooftop. The bad weather had made damages to it.
So, I bought a little Yagi 3 elements and replaced the old one.
But now, I find that when the presenters talks, there's a lot of sibilance, particularly the female DJ's, exhibiting as a "ssssss" or "fffffff" in each channel (the presenters are in mono centered obviously).
The new antenna as more gain but was oriented the same way.
Signal is strong and clear on music and don't exhibit the phenomenon, the stereo light doesn't flicker at all.
Could it be associated to multipath and the new antenna having more gain? Yesterday, I climbed on the rooftop trying to orient the Yagi differently without sucess.
Maybe I didn't noticed it before with the old antenna and all of this isn't related at all. BTW, this problem is more prone to occur on my two Fisher's tube tuners (FM-200-B and 101R with addon mutiplexer). My Scott LT-110, also tube, seems less prone to this.
Or, is it normal for presenters to show a little more sibilance than recorded music?
Thanks,
Patrice
**I've just heard the news reader (also a women) and there was no right and left "sssss" or "fffff". Maybe the DJ's in the studio have bad mic habits or the mic is flawed...
**Deemphasis and compression related maybe???
