[IRCA] DX Worldwide - West, 1100 report

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I noticed an interesting report in the April 1, 2006, edition of DX 
Monitor, in the DX Worldwide - West column by Patrick Martin.  Possibly 
unwisely, but none the less I am allowing this was not an April 1 spoof.

Richard E. Wood reported from Keaau, Hawaii, hearing a Bubble Jammer from 
Cuba on 1100, on 3/11.

I am unaware of Cuba using Bubble Jammers on MW frequencies.  Those are 
reserved for SW as far as I know.  It's worth noting also that there are no 
Florida station on 1100 to jam, regardless the mechanism, nor many 1100 
nighttime stations anywhere in the US for that matter.

Instead, I would strongly suggest that what was heard was the Wobbler.  The 
report for 3/11 would have been just when 1100 Radio Cadena Habana, Havana, 
Cuba, was producing Xtreme Wobblers that were being heard and reported as 
far as Oregon.

It would now appear the distance record for Wobbler reception belongs to 
Richard at his Hawaii QTH!

Congratulations to him.  If Richard isn't on this IRCA User Group, maybe 
someone can let him know what he logged.
