[IRCA] Wobbler

[Bob Young <bobyoung53@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The wobbler was so loud on 650 kHz last night that I almost posted about it in honor of W Curt Deegan of Boca Rotan Fla, who passed away a few years ago. He had a website for it that seems to have been taken down. It was by far the loudest thing on 650, with a Cuban very low in the mud along with WSM which would surface occasionally. I have never heard a wobbler that loud before, very odd as it didn't seem to be connected at all with the Cuban (R Progresso) way underneath it.
