The motive of this test is a little concerning to me when I hear
"digital data" and "medium wave" mentioned in the same context. But I
have to admit, I enjoy hunting for oddball signals between 1710 and 1800
kHz, and I've found plenty over the last few years to keep me
interested. I view this as one of those opportunities to log something
new in this "no man's band". It's close enough to the MW broadcast band
to peak my interest, but like Kaz, I don't count this as a new BCB
logging either.

For me, this is outside the AM band and won't count as a new AM stn.
Just my opinion. 73 KAZ
