I don't see why this would be specific to the UK (and I didn't think the OP
was referring to British stations in any case.) Short wave broadcasters use
a 5KHz spacing so the transmitted bandwidth is bound to be below hi-fi
quality. The use of compression is probably also normal to maximize
readability under poor conditions.
