Re: [IRCA] 1100 Wobbler too, NE Oregon!



If the Wobbler is intentional, I wouldn't expect anyone in Cuba to 
officially admit to it, any more than they do to the well known fact they 
jam SW radio broadcasts illegally.

If it is accidental the same thing applies, no one is likely to admit to 
deficiencies or problems that are causing such an annoying effect, not just 
for us in the U.S., but almost certainly for radio listeners in Cuba as well.

Since whatever it is, is occurring on not just one or two transmitters, but 
more typically a half-dozen at any given time, either way -- intentional or 
accidental -- it wouldn't seem to be something for open discussion.

Certainly worth a try and the effort is to be commended, but the lack of 
response is not a surprise.
