Re: [IRCA] Power Outage and 1710 KHz

Hi Les,

Your 1710 UNID was very likely Radio Reten Lo Que Tienes:
https://www.radioretenloquetienes.com/

According to their website, their location is Baton Rouge.  They are a
recent occupant of 1710 and have been heard from Florida to Ontario and
also here in lower Western Michigan.

73,
Tim
