Re: [IRCA] Wobbler on 1100

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

Bill,

A Wobbler, when heard in its more energetic form sounds like a shaken 
sheet of metal.

They appear to originate on Cuban AM broadcast stations and when 
strong can be heard interfering with other stations on the same 
channel, at times even usually dominate ones.

It is not believed they are jamming, but rather the result of 
deteriorating and malfunctioning transmitters, possibly helped along 
with an unstable power grid.

When you have a spare moment, you can get a notion of the Wobbler at 
the web site; link in my signature.
