  Chimera states are characterized by the symmetry-breaking coexistence of
synchronized and incoherent groups of oscillators in certain chains of
identical oscillators. We report on the direct experimental observation of
states reminiscent of such chimeras within a ring of coupled electronic
(Wien-bridge) oscillators, and compare these to numerical simulations of a
theoretically derived model. Following up on earlier work characterizing the
pairwise interaction of Wien-bridge oscillators by Kuramoto-Sakaguchi phase
dynamics, we develop a lattice model for a chain thereof, featuring an {\it
exponentially decaying} spatial kernel. We find that for certain values of the
Sakaguchi parameter $\alpha$, chimera-like states involving the coexistence of
two clearly-separated regions of distinct dynamical behavior can establish
themselves in the ring lattice, characterized by both traveling and stationary
coexistence domains of synchronization.
