If you park on 650 WSM's frequency in the evenings you should
be able to hear the "Cuban Wobbler" also, whether you are listening
in CW or AM mode.
The Cuban Wobbler appears to be a station in Cuba on the same frequency
that is running some kind of Eastern European transmitter with
a defective crystal or frequency generator.
Mostly it is within a few Hz of WSM and not noticeable then all of a
sudden
it breaks into some kind of unstable wobble in frequency for a few minutes
then settles down again. I understand this has been going on for years.
It almost sounds like deliberate jamming but I don't think it is. The
Cubans
have made no attempt to ever fix the problem.
I think it is heard mainly in the Southern states at night. A similar
"Wobbler"
carrier can be heard on top of 740 and 870 at night also.
