Re: [IRCA] TP attempts 2011-10-15 from El Cajon / La Mesa, CA

Stephen,

The 1053-Korean Jammer has a very distinctive sound, and it has been
heard on Ultralight radios as far east as Oklahoma (by Richard Allen).
A recording of it booming in here on the 9' PVC loop last year in
September is posted at http://www.mediafire.com/?qimu5i2djvji2vt

Stephen, it's easy when you have a SDR that you can see the classic IBOC
bands.  Otherwise, I think they'll sound very similar.  The IBOC will
sound
more like white noise, while the jammer is lower pitched and
grinding.........Walt
