'Wow and Rumble' was how it was referred to, for turntables and tape
machines.

I was referring more to FM, but you can also see something like it on
a weak TV signal. It has been a very long time since I've even
thought of this.


That was referred to as 'Fade', or 'Flutter', depending on the rate
that it happened. It was caused by a marginal signal that was outside
the set's AGC range.

Yeah, those terms sound familiar. Thanks.
