Re: [IRCA] 1710 Radio Selva (Argentina) into Michigan right now
Tim, going through some of my Masset Perseus wave files, on Dec 30th, UTC 06:59, I'm measuring 2 carriers on the waterfall zoom: 1709.784 and 1709.982, the latter being very similar to the S American station.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Radio Selva (Argentina) into Michigan right now
Thanks, Tim. I've noted the carrier here before but this is the first time that any audio has ever come through. The carrier was stronger than usual so I decided to stick with it for a while, just in case. Patience paid off!

[IRCA] 1710 Radio Selva (Argentina) into Michigan right now
1/1/2019 @ 0630 UTC: First new log of 2019 and it's a good one! I'm currently hearing music on 1709.81 that matches up to what I'm hearing on two remote Kiwi SDRs in Paraguay and Brazil.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 oldies
Dave Valko and I were listening last night and heard them sign off at 7:05pm EST with this singing ID. We're debating if the frequency is "1510" or "1710" and neither of us can make out what comes after the frequency and before "radio" - a call? a slogan?

[IRCA] 1710 QSL
I sent a report to the 1710 Springfield Armory on its web its comment section and received a confirmation just now by e-mail. Response from Alexander MacKenzie, Curator. Just about the shortest QSL I've ever had: "Yes! You got us - that's our radio broadcast." I did verify WLIB back in the 1960s, I got my letter back stamped with "verified". So that one's the shortest. The least amount of effort for a QSL was receiving one from that Brooklyn pirate that was active many years back, on 1610 I think it was. I reported reception on the NRC list and received an unsolicited QSL! Somehow they knew my address.

Re: [IRCA] 1710
Thanks, Russ. I listened to the recording again and noticed that the second song I heard was actually in English -- sounded like Aretha Franklin.

[IRCA] 1710 possible "CHIM FM", pirate?
A bit of a mystery tonight in Michigan. I was tuning around the band and found a stronger than usual signal on 1710. Religious talk and Christian pop music from what I could tell with a decent signal but horrible distorted modulation (at times it sounded better using the FM mode on my Perseus). There have been occasional mentions of Canada between songs. Strangely I've also heard what sounds like current weather conditions read by a female robo voice, similar to the TIS stations that rebroadcast NOAA weather radio, but this doesn't sound like one of the usual TIS stations that now populate 1710 from the East. This is sometimes given between songs for about 30 seconds or so. 0500 UTC now and still going. A bit of Googling returned a hit for CHIM FM out of Timmins, Ontario: http://www.chimfm.com/ Note the reference to 1710 AM. I have no confirmation or ID yet (that I can understand anyway) but everything seems to point to this station (signal even seems best on the North D-KAZ). Anyone know what's going on here? If it's a Part 15 station then I shouldn't be hearing it from here. Is anyone else hearing this one? How about you Ontario guys?

[IRCA] 1710 W807 Chicago
I spoke a couple nights ago with the operator of Chicago's 1710 station W807, who called me after I left a message via a phone number given on-air that led me to a neighbourhood business. It's not a Part 15, and is best classified as unlicensed. It runs between 35 and 100 watts. The country music, the hard rock (Radiohead and others) - they're all W807. It runs a lot on weekends, sometimes during the week. Station's name is derived from the vacuum tube. For more info: facebook/w807am (not sure if capital or lower case, I simply accessed it via Google). Google the station creatively and you can find his name, and more.

[IRCA] 1710 unid
Ken, I live about 7 miles from the Springfield Armory and the tis is on 24 hours a day. I am currently hearing SS music and talk in the background under the tis. I don't know how to post a recording. There are a lot of unlicensed SS stations in the Springfield / Boston / Hartford area. Maybe you are hearing one of them.

Is there anyone with a recording they can post of the 3m loop from Springfield MA?? I have been hearing what sounds like American English on 1710 (thats how weak the signal is, only a few words here and there) The funny thing is, it seems to be there only at 0500UTC / GMT. I even recorded 0430 and 0530 today, and find there is no trace. Maybe I should record an hour around that time. 0500 is first light here, so of course it will be the peak time, but I did hear the TIS thing from NJ a few times throughout the night some months ago. What I seem to be hearing is an OM and YL alternating, and sometimes some kind of music. I don't seem to have found any words of significance yet.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 yesterday heard in Scotland
Hi Ken, Hopefully you were recording last night. 1720 was active with a pirate that came on the frequency at 0250 UTC. The programming was Radio Free Whatever (likely relayed by pirate Undercover Radio). S5-S6 signal here, but all alone of course on this frequency. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan On 01/31/2014 02:13 PM, Ken, Scotland wrote: The X band has been roaring its head off this last couple of days.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 yesterday heard in Scotland
Hello Ken, The station was WQFG689 and is the only Emergency Radio Service authorized on 1710 in the USA. It runs 10 watts from Jersey City, NJ. It was started during Hurricane Katrina and continues because the recovery effort continues. You'll hear a lot of Homeland Security PSAs on the station. For a QSL, contact: James Woods, Coordinator of Emergency Management County of Hudson (WQFG689) 555 County Avenue, Bldg. 11 Secaucus, NJ 07094 USA My initial letter went unanswered until I followed up with a fax to the number listed in the FCC database: +1 201 369 5204. Mr. Woods explained that he was still very busy with the cleanup from the hurricane. The other station you possibly heard there may have been Radio Celestial, a NYC church pirate. They were recently busted and fined. Their signal was quite wide-ranging and they had pictures of it on their website, which now appears to be streaming only, unless they have continued transmissions. I have not monitored recently. The website address is www.smjrc.com. If you hear it again, you can compare against their webstream. Congrats on some amazing DX!!

I hear them at my QTH about 45 miles north of NYC. Some QSB as they flutter in and out of the other melee on this frequency. This sounds like the same station I heard on the night of December 1. Sounds very much like a stereotypical pirate - young male ranting, bad rock and roll, lots of nudge nudge. I'm using a Sony ICF-SW7600GR bare back, so they must be getting out pretty well.

[IRCA] 1710 KHz W807 Mystery station?
Hi All, I was monitoring 1710 KHz last night and heard something different around 0200 UTC. A variety of music was heard ranging from Aerosmith to James Brown. This went on for a good hour or two until an ID finally around 0320 UTC: More music in just a moment, here on W807 and then directly into an ad for a Chicago area tattoo parlor. Googling 1710 W807 returned this list of pirate and Part 15 stations on the x-band and W807 is shown to be from Glasford, IL - a good 180 mile drive or so from Chicago: http://www.angelfire.com/mb/exband/misc.html Here's a video showing part of my reception including the ID and some music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3ye2ITydcE At 0330 UTC the station started airing some kind of old-time radio drama that lasted until at least 0500 UTC and perhaps later. So my question, has anyone around Chicagoland heard of this W807 station before on 1710 KHz? I was hoping that what I heard was a Part 15 station, but another DXer from Detroit was hearing the same so I think we can rule that out. Surprisingly, I found only very few references to W807 on the net. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan Perseus SDR + phased BOGs ___ 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

[IRCA] 1710 KHz TiS Station
I'm still wondering why this station is being suddenly so well heard. Since it's continued for several nights now, we can rule out propagation events. TIS transmitters don't have a provision to allow cheating by increasing the power. So I'm wondering if they just came on the air, or relocated one of the transmitters to a new location? Still nothing here on 1710 KHz, but I continue to check. If I could get day off from work, I might install the Wellbrook loop away from the hash of the house and improve my odds. -- 73, *Les Rayburn, N1LF* EM63nf 121 Mayfair Park Maylene, AL 35114 6M VUCC #1712 Grid Pirates #222 Life Member Central States VHF ___ 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
[IRCA] 1710 Last Night
A little late to the game, but thanks to Saul Chernos's DX tip, I camped on 1710 for awhile late last night. Spanish pirate dominated, but there were two or three others under, including what sounded like a TIS/HAR simulcasting an NWS weather broadcast. It faded in and out and sounded it had a network echo. No positive ID though, just the weather with mentions of New York harbor. I'll keep trying!

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Last Night
I heard NWS type info on 1710 on my drive home from Burnt River ON to Toronto last night. I can only suspect it's the same NJ station. I think it may even be the same NWS alert as one on - I think - 1630 - mentions of Execution Rocks, Monmouth came through loud enough to discern even on my car radio.

Noted today, around 1500UTC another and this time an illegal Hmong station with Pt. 15 type power on 1710.

No, seriously.. I'm asking.. you contradicted yourself there. if they're Part 15, it's legal. if they are running multiple Part 15 transmitters slaved together at one location or multiple transmitters synched together across different locations, that's legal. Part 15 AM deals with individual power of each transmitter, not multiple transmitters together. Paul On Fri, Nov 25, 2011 at 7:16 PM, Todd todftscytj7...@aol.com wrote: Paul stop.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 kHz Music at 8:15 A.M. PDT
Patrick, My mistake, the signal was heard on the NW long-wire, not the SW ewe. On the antenna switch I had the coax mixed. Just corrected the mistake. I now have four antennas. Just added the Kiwa loop. Tonight the only antenna that can get any audio from 1710 is the NW long-wire and the signal is only S-2. The palstar tuner helps when in the tune mode. Surprised their still on the air, the Vancouver, WA 1710 Russian station got shut down a few months after being on the air by the FCC.

Thanks Dennis. Yes, the Russian is a regular visitor here nightly. Depending on Northerly cx, the signal strength does vary. The best signal is off the NE EWE, aimed pretty much at the Puget Sound. I even get the Russian station carrier durng the day! Rarely any audio though, except maybe in mid Winter. You might try for the Fort Lewis TIS in the morning after LSR on 1500.

[IRCA] 1710 station lately
This past week I've been hearing a 1710 station right at the noise level. It might be SS, definitely isn't EE. Except for today the format sounds like a regular station, with M/F DJs who speak after every song, and the music has been vocals with a strong beat. And the format has been the same until today. Today a man began speaking, apparently preaching, at 1310 utc and continued until fadeout at 1330 utc. If SS, he spoke rather slowly, not like commercial fast-paced SS stations. Frequency is always low, around 60 Hz low. Best on the E/W longwire. And I haven't heard the Puget Sound Russian station for several weeks now, and that one was always close to the proper 1710 frequency. I've been tuning there once the LF beacons and AMBC TPs fade out, around 1230 utc. Peak signal on this 1710 station seems to be around 1305 utc currently. Anyone else hearing something similar to this?

[IRCA] 1710 kHz in Boston Area
Since there has been alot of discussion on this topic recently, I decided to check out 1710 from Quincy, MA this morning at 0800 EDT. All alone with a fairly good signal on my Toyota car radio was R. Soleil International, Brockton, MA in Caribbean French with lively music, a live DJ, and even ads. Although I don't speak Caribbean French (and VERY little European/Canadian French), it was easy to note the syntax of an ad and even heard the English words washer and dryer. Brockton is about 17 miles from Quincy. No trace of R. Top Inter listed in Dorchester only 5 miles distant. No trace of any Spanish stations on 1710. It is also interesting to note that there are Caribbean French stations on nearly EVERY X-Band channel in Metro Boston. From Quincy, 1670 was the strongest - loud clear with very good audio quality. I hope this info is helpful to someone. Personally, I would like to see ALL of these Pirates shut down ASAP. IMHO, all they do is clutter up frequencies and kill chances for more distant DX from legitimate stations.
