Tony,
Again, no noises in your file.
Yes, recording and/or playing back 32-bit files on a system that can not handle it because of its data limitations can result in bad things. Bigger is not always better.
As I suggested before, try recording at 16 or 24 bit and see what happens.

Tony,
OK. I hear no pops or clicks.
I suggest you not choose 32-bit floating. You don’t need files that big for your work.
24-bit or even 16-bit should be fine.It could be that your playback system is choking on 32-bit.

Hello Tony and a belated welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
You’ve received a lot of good suggestions so far.
Play the file back on another device. Do you hear clicks there?
It could possibly be a driver issue between Audacity, the Behringer and MacBook Pro.
Post the file somewhere we can hear it.
Regards,

Yes, 80 watts ERP (effective radiated power). This is a low power repeater for the main transmitter which may well put out 100,000 watts ERP.
ERP is arrived at by an equation that also includes number of antenna bays and HAAT (Height Above average Terrain). You’d need more power at a lower height to achieve the same ERP that a taller tower with less actual wattage would give you. The number of bays (racks of radiators) also figures in there.

Thanks Roger,
Yes, the plant sounds like a reflective nightmare.
The FM station. Were you at the transmitter site or studio site? (or were they both together?)
You can actually be under the tower and not get hits because the largest part of the signal is flying out over your head.

Yes, perhaps, LOTS of reflective metal, but being surrounded by cars in a parking lot and still getting more than 125 feet sort of makes that seem unlikely.
Or, is there a massive wireless Wi-Fi router near by. That would be more likely.
Have you had drop outs at other locations or is this the first?

Hey Roger,
As far as I know that digital AT system is triple diversity.
I setup in the lower level of a concrete parking area full of cars (reflective metallic surfaces) and got 125-140 feet last year with the same system.

Bob,
OK, gotcha. I know Wendt only by reputation. I have mostly Sound Devices gear.
Tell you what. Continue the ghost hunt. If you find any, maybe try the forum at JWsoundgroup.net, that’s Jeff Wexler’s crib. Someone there will know a ton of stuff about Wendt.

Hello Bob and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.
Hmm. Yes, weird behavior.
Does Wendt support have anything to say about intermittent weirdness with that mixer?
