Hi Nigel:
I am about 15-20 miles WSW of the transmitter, and I heard a female voice
WAY down in the noise last night. I couldn't tell if it was Russian,
Martian or other. For some reason I was never able to get it very clearly
when others were - the new indoor Super Loop is a lot quieter, so perhaps
that is why I am getting something. So, if I am hearing anything at all,
it must be fairly close, and may indeed be the RR station. I will try
again tonight.
How about you guys in Seattle proper???

Nigel,
I'm probably about 140 miles South of the Russian speaking station that
was
being heard throughout the Pacific Northwest. Heard many evenings on the
NW ewe and Kiwa loop. At 0419 utc I'm getting a very weak het about a
level 3.
Will continue to check throughout the evening. At 0423 utc very faint
audio
with man talking, can not ID language. Will continue to check throughout
the
evening.
Best regards,
Dennis.,
Salmon Creek, WA

Subject: [IRCA] Russian 1710
Noted a station on 1710 (well, a shade low) tonight with programming
that sure seems to fit the Seattle area Russian station discussed some
months back. It's not strong enough to be 100% certain it's Russian,
but the music certainly fits. For some reason during the speech segment
I was hearing two women speaking, almost like a second station, but it
wasn't, as when the music resumed things returned to normal. If
someone could confirm that the Seattle station is still on it would be
appreciated.
