I usually check 1710 on my bandscans and often the Haitian pirate is
audible, though just above the noise. That's consistent with a 50-100w
pirate using a simple antenna. I could put it up on my private stream so
you could check for // audio. It's pretty hard to pick out of the noise,
though.
How were other east coast stations like WBZ-1030 showing? If I had to
guess, I'd say it was another pirate closer to your location.
Next time I'm up near Boston I'll see how they do. In the past they have
always been mediocre compared to a typical 1kw high end daytimer.
FWIW, I have not noticed the Lubovich (sp?) NYC 1710 pirate in a while.
