Re: [IRCA] Turks and Caicos - 530Khz

[Michael Hawkins <downsized99@xxxxxxxxx>]

I went browsing the web for info on them last night.  All references point to a 100 KW transmitter at the old US Coast Guard station on South Caicos Island.  I have been hearing them on a semi-regular basis from central California, though they have never been strong enough to hear anything clearly.  They were blasting in here last night, so I listened to them on and off for about 90 minutes.  I was also listening on my car radio.

 

Thanks to all who made postings on the subject and made me want to see if I could get them from here.
