Re: [IRCA] [AMFMTVDX] New TIS testing on 1710

[Brett Saylor <bsaylor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Saul,

I checked last night and again this morning, and finally heard the station
briefly a few minutes ago (6:50 ELT) ID'ing as KID 761 as you said. It's
about 60 miles south of me, and was about equal levels with the Hudson NY
TIS and Spanish pirate. I checked a few minutes later it was gone.

There were two male announcers alternating in the loop. The first was
saying "You are listening to travellers information station for the Flight
93 national memorial operating at 1710 AM, KID 761 Bedford, Pennsylvania"
and the second sounded like a more generic announcement starting with "You
are listening to a test broadcast... (something) ...by the Federal
Communications Commission."

Bedford is about 20 miles east of the Flight 93 site.
