[IRCA] Re: Wobbler strong on 930...



Dennis,
 
Most DF attempts have pointed toward Cuba, more or less.  A few though, have either been unable to find any directional aspect at all, or pointed east from locations like Colorado, but not southeast.  No one has reported hearing the Wobbler from the west coast region, CO and NM as far west as reports go, so far.
 
From where I am in south Florida, these things are daily occurrences and are often heard over anything else on their frequency.  This would also favor a Cuban connection.  One suggestion of locations off the main island of Cuba has also been mentioned. 
 
I would say Cuba is the general consensus for probable location, though more precisely than that has not been suggested.  As the DF reports have shown, it is very difficult to get a narrow direction on the signal, so even from here, locating on one end of the island or another has not been possible.
 
The nature of the origin of these signals is still uncertain, with power problems and transmitter malfunctions as popular possibilities.  Some favor jamming of some form, from or at Cuba.  Nothing so far has given a definite edge to one cause over any others.  On this the most popular opinion is probably unstable power.
 
You can see a summary of the various reports that have been made over the last month or so, along with sample recordings and other info on the Wobbler web site:

I haven't followed this all the way from the beginning. Has anyone been able to establish what region this is coming from?

Once I phased out the horrible racket that seems to be around today, I've been getting the Wobbler all afternoon and into this evening on 930 where it has been very active.  The other usual suspects have been quiet or nearly so today.
