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.

Itâs literally been years since I logged anything new on 1710 KHzâor even
heard a signal for that matter. Rising noise level have virtually
eliminated the always-weak signals heard on this channel.
Last night we had a violent front come through, taking out power lines all
over our city. Power was out from about 8:30 PM until well into the early
morning. I took advantage of the quiet to listen for some DX.
Over the years, 1710 KHz has been an interesting channel. Pirates, radio
convention stations, fishing buoy, etc. To my surprise last night, it came
alive again. I heard a Spanish language station, playing mostly romantic
Spanish ballads sung by females, and announcements by a male announcer.
Never made out enough of anything to ID.
When the power came back on at around 4AM, the noise levels rushed up and
drowned the station out immediately.
Any idea who my mystery station might have been?
