Group,
Spent most of the day digitalizing two tapes of my Okinawa Daytime Bandscan
for John Comstock.
These were recorded in 1985.
In doing so, I noted two Mainlanders that had some of the characteristics
of the Cuban Wobblers.
Off hand, one was on the commonwave synchro channel of 1368 kHz.
1368 must have something comparable to the US/Canada "graveyard" channels
in proportionate
numbers.
The transmitters seemed to be rather "clustered" around 1368, rather than
dead on. Most of them
are probably small, 1-kW repeaters.
One of them comes to mind as having a shift around +/- 100Hz, and partially
due to (apparently)
transmitter voltage shifts due to modulation. Notably at the
top-of-the-hour time pips.
Not symmetrical, like the Cuban Wobblers.
I do believe some of the Cuban transmitters were made in China.
None of any of the Taiwanese displayed this instability. But we're talking
about a country with
a per-capita income comparable to the US when we talk about Taiwan.
Food for thought.
Three Score and Thirteen
