Re: [IRCA] Wobbler searching

Steve,

All you say is right on.  This 1100 Wobbler is strong enough, for some it 
can probably be heard on simple table AM radios.  I know I can on every 
radio in the house, and I would suspect there are others more distant who 
would find it easy to hear.  The first time I heard a Wobbler it was like 
this, bursting through with no special effort at all.
