Nick, I've definitely heard the growl but I never knew someone put a name to it. Thanks!

It's the whoosh whoosh whoosh sound (how's that for a scientific elucidation?) that you hear when two stations on a channel are not at exactly the same frequency. If they're separated by one Hertz, the repetition rate on the whooshing will be once a second etc. Of course, by 20 or so Hertz separation, you've got a growl which is truly audible. Pretty sure there is stuff in the IRCA reprints on this, "Yes, SAH" by Glenn Hauser, springs to mind. best wishes, Nick _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com --------------------------------- Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
