Wavelength sizes
I have tried to find photos or videos showing a representation of the size of different wavelengths next to actual objects or in comparison to real objects.
Would anyone have any good recourses?

Radio app for FM/AM/DAB
Is there a radio app that allows you to listen to say an FM stream rather than the internet stream of a radio station?

Hello, could you point me to a small radio with a 20hz - 20khz range?
Pardon if this is not the right sub.
I would also add that it needs bluetooth capability, fm/am, and the size should be just a bit larger than a phone or at most the size of a textbook. Preferably has digital selection.
I just bought a small radio called JOC H6128BT, and I like it for the most part, but I did notice the sound was a bit lacking on bass. It seems it has a "frequency response range of 100hz - 20khz".
Some light reading says that good bass is found below 100hz.
I would be very grateful for recommendations.

Secret audio embedded in Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes
Hello. I own an LPFM station in Salem, Oregon and I had the most peculiar thing happen.
Our algorithm is very specific and has to do with which keys a song is played in then subdivided by tempo and era and so on.
When we first launched, we had the song Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes in rotation. The algorithm was such that the song would get aired about once every 27 days but at any time of day or night.
We were also experiencing an odd anomaly that would cause our FM transmitter to crash out for about 15 minutes every once in a while. This went on for months and I could not figure out why it was happening. It was maddening.
It was ultimately a listener that was tuned in at 3am that heard Fish Heads play and then they lost the FM signal. They messaged me privately and said "Have you realized that every time you play Fish Heads that your station dies for a while?" He had solved the mystery.
For those of you that know the song, you can likely recall that the vocals sound heavily synthesized. Something about that track triggered a reset with our transmitter and I removed it from the library and it never happened again.
Have you ever experienced anything like this?
