2006-12-18 Thread Marc DeLorenzo
Interesting. Rather than a format change, I wonder if this is an example of ethnic brokered programming. Perhaps KVNS sells middle of the night air time to a Mexican-American group. I'm just guessing. Hopefully someone in (or near) South Texas can provide a definite answer. -- Marc

Curt, This phenomenon is absolutely unique. I've not heard the like in 40 years of MW DXing. It is intentional, absolutely. A crystal oscillator does not behave this way unless its FMed. And there are many Wobblers down there. It cannot be a coincidence. I suspect it is an attempt at jamming.
