Here's exactly how the presumed WJTB carrier appeared as recorded on April 2nd, 2010 at 10am EST:

This is way outside the ±20Hz tolerance, and it's visually clear how unstable the carrier is.  Those who have heard this drifter can attest to this just by listening to it rise and fall over a short period of time.  It's interesting to be able to "see" it using the waterfall display on the SDR.

Beside annoying listeners to others stations on the same frequency, they are hurting their own signal, as their audio will beat against
the het for the stations who ARE on freq, reducing their own effective coveage area.
