[BC] STL question

Years ago while engineering in western Kansas, I came across a transmitter 
site that was repeating another station.  The equipment consisted of a table 
radio with a Shure microphone stuck against the speaker grill.  The Shure 
fed one of those incredibly bad Shure mixers. (M267?).  I had always 
wondered why the audio was so bad and where the blower noise was coming 
from.
