Re: [IRCA] What am I getting on 1710 in English?

Hi George,

I did a careful check of my overnight recordings and listened a few 
minutes before and after 0530 UTC.  I could hear talking between a man 
and woman but it wasn't strong enough to overtake Radio Celestial and 
the Hudson County TIS station, so nothing could be understood.

What you describe sounds like the Chicago pirate that calls itself 
"W807, Geo Research Rock Radio".  This is a mostly full-time (and 
probably low power but higher than a Part 15) operation that has a 
conservative and conspiracy slant.  They mostly air rock music (often 
long blocks by the same artist) but I've heard similar political and 
documentary programs like this late at night also coming from the 
station.  I've also heard them air what sounds like old-time radio 
suspense dramas with lots of screaming, police sirens, loud foot steps, 
telephone rings, etc.  IDs are infrequent but long and detailed when 
they do ID, often with several ads for local businesses in the Chicago 
area.  I'm a bit surprised this one isn't reported by more Midwestern DXers.

73,
Tim Tromp
West Michigan
