Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Wobbler Xtreme on 910

Paul,
 
It is interesting you can not hear the Wobbler.  Despite the strong static today, which prevents recognizing what slight audio seems to be present, the Wobbler still is often audible with no special effort beyond withstanding the crashes.
 
When you use the SSB de-tuning technique I don't think any other station is necessary on the channel for the Wobbler to be heard.  I have detected a Wobbler when the beat note created by the technique produced no indication of another carrier on the frequency -- though at other times the Sub Audible Heterodyne of two off-tuned stations can be heard along with the Wobbler (which is assumed to be one or the other of the two carriers).
 
As to the identity of the source, as I mentioned last night, I had no hint of R.Reloj underneath the Wobbler.  In the past when the Wobbler was on a RR freq., the tones and code were easily audible.  Today I have not heard any clue of RR, though conditions are somewhat worse and it is daytime...just for the record.  When I have heard anything it seemed to be music, but unidentifiable under the circumstances.
 
I shall place my ear against the speaker and suffer the potential for injury from crashing static, to see if there is anything more to report.  I've been following this most closely with the R30, which has no noise blanker.  I'll spend a little more time on the NRD-535 and phased aerials to see if there is more to hear.
 
Stay tuned...

Hi Curt, Tom, & exteemed wonderers re the wobbler;'

     1001 EDT today no wobbler, no R. Metropolitana 910. Wobbled into radio room 1315 local, read your posts. Metro back on air, no wobbler. Why? Possibility:

   Metro not wobbler? Plodded through lists, logs, dumbfounding artifacts, here's 910 Cuba: 

     Reloj   Bolondron, Matanzas    not heard long time
     Cadena Agramonte    Camaguey    not heard lately
     Metro   Habana        regular days, some nights
     Reloj    GTMO          

Possible Reloj GTMO still active, wobbling nights against Metro & others? Why no wobbling here days as at your qth? Two possibilities:

  1. WTMW Plant City, 1Kw, weak here w/Metro off air. Why wouldn't Metro - if wobbler - beat against 'TMW, be at least weakly audible this qth? Maybe because Reloj, GTMO, inaudible days this qth, is wobbler?

   2. WTMW maybe off air, can't tell today w/lightning ix. If off air, no wobble, regardless of culprit, as no other carriers audible days this qth.

   Check tonight with Sony 2010, RatShak & Terk loops, Rubbermaid turntable - thx to Hr. Krueger - (get more curious looks on cruise ships & parks), converstation starter, promote hobby & clubs.

   Using above setup as well as R-390 &104' veranda wire, at present Metro 910 strong, fair over lightning ix, no wobbles any mode - AM, SyncDet, U/LSB, from any direction.

                                                                                                    -Z.-
