[IRCA] Cuban jammer on 1550

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As conditions improve for propagation, it might be worth a try to hear the 
suspected Cuban jammer on 1550kHz, against WRHC Coral Gables.  Sounding 
like a whooping siren, it can often be heard here fading over/under 
WRHC.  So far reports of it have been mostly local, but times are improving 
for it to get out better.

For the record, this is different from the Wobbler.  It is an audio 
whooping sound modulating a more or less stable carrier, whereas the 
Wobblers are widely fluctuating carriers producing audio artifacts by 
beating against local carriers.  The Wobblers tend to produce reception 
results much farther afield than has been observed for the whooping 
jammer.  But the jammer is a very distinctive sound, not unlike some used 
for organized DX Tests, which have proven quite effective.

Here is a short 11kB recording of what to listen for:
