What could be a symptom caused by a ground loop in your station's audio connections?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. You receive reports of “hum” on your station's transmitted signal
A ground loop in audio connections often picks up power line hum. That hum gets mixed into your transmitted audio, so stations report hum on your signal.
Tip: Ground loop = hum.
