Re: [IRCA] Wobbler

Right you are, Dr.Z.

It was on 5 Sep., I noted the Whooper jammer on 1550, messing with 
WRHC Coral Gables and their Spanish format.

I've been logging this jamming activity since then, which is almost 
continuous -- at nights when WRHC signal fades somewhat and I can hear it.

The Whooper is not to be confused with the Wobbler.  The Whooper is 
an audio whooping sound impressed on a steady carrier.  The Wobbler 
is a fluctuating carrier producing audio through interaction with 
other carriers.

 From my vantage point I can not tell how affective the Whooper is at 
jamming US stations in Cuba, its clear intent.  The Wobbler on the 
other hand, originates on Cuban stations, rather than targeting US 
stations, and does not appear to be intended to jam.  It certainly 
must be annoying though, to those trying to listen to the affected station.

The Whooper is doing its thing even now at 5:41 pm ET, Dec 19 2006.
