The major 1710 pirate stations heard here lately are currently on 
1710.011 (French Creole) and 1710.034 (Spanish).  There is also a 
strong carrier on 1709.973, but I haven't been able to associate any 
audio with it.  The Lubavitcher station in NYC that formerly owned 
1710 here seems to have disappeared.
