Re: [IRCA] 1709.83 mystery carrier, Argentina?



Heard "WQFG" several times around 0342-0346, while listening to the mystery station on 1709.85. Have you gotten anything more here Tim on who this might be? It's there every evening, but I've had no audio yet. I'm actually trying to listen on USB, with a notch on 1700, to avoid the splatter from 1700. That's when I heard the TIS from NJ.

And yes, 1700 is a mess of offsets. I zoomed way in the other night, and there were a lot of carriers, and not one was spot on 1700!

Thanks Mauno, and Mark.

The carrier is just starting to fade in again at 00:08 UTC. The splatter from 1700 makes 1710 tough here on the South DKAZ, otherwise audio may have
been possible last night.

Mark, you'll go nuts trying to chase offsets on 1710. It's not exactly a
frequency known for rock-steady transmitters :-)

Had nothing here until about 3 minutes before local sunset (2337 utc),
then a trace carrier appeared over the next minute or so. It's been up and down in strength, not even close to audio levels. The carrier is drifting around some, moving erratically upwards from 1709.83 to 1709.835. Now (2356
utc) it's drifting slightly back down again.

No other station is dominant currently on 1710. I'm also seeing a very
weak trace at about 1709.955.

Are there other offset lists besides the one at MWLIST?

I've been noticing a carrier the last few nights on 1709.83 so I started
checking various remotes on the Kiwi network.  My search led me to
Argentina where one of the receivers had a station label on 1710 for a "Radio Selva". Looking closer, the station on the Kiwi remote is right on 1709.83, the same as the carrier I'm seeing here in Michigan on my DKAZ pointed due south. Such DX from deep South America isn't exactly common here, unless conditions go very auroral, but there are no signs of such
conditions elsewhere on the band right now.

Radio Selva's audio stream: https://amselva1710.wixsite.com/envivo

Buenos Aires remote that had the best copy on the station:

The carrier was pretty strong tonight at local sunset, but fading in and out rapidly. I was unable to dredge up any audio to confirm it was Selva
but it's peaked my interest.

Anyone else seeing or hearing this mystery carrier or know anything about
this station?  Pirate, licensed, power, etc.?
