No Matter How Bad the Music is

As I see it - the radio personality sits in a sound booth, talks and plays music.  As they do this and depending on his or her comfort level, the office chair moves.  It rolls, swivels and may even recline just a little, depending on the success of the station and how much they spent on the chair.

So far – no problem; the minor movement of the office chair does not affect the broadcast transmission -

 unless it squeaks.

Now, however, assume for the moment that you, the listening audience, are sitting in a moving car.  You are traveling along the interstate at 75 miles per hour.  This means your car antenna is also traveling at 75 miles per hour.  You are not only going fast but up and down hills and mountains, around corners and depending on your sense of direction, there’s an occasional U-turn.

Notes:

All measurements were taken at 68° F

The average person talks at 125 to 150 words per minute

Your speed on the Interstate = 75 mph

Speed of sound = 767 miles per hour

Your speed converted = 1.233 miles per minute

Conclusion:  It is not possible to outrun your radio.
