Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] 1710 last night

["Bill Harms" <wharms@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just listened to 1710 (6/1 0855-0905 UTC) and report the following. 

There was audio at the threshold level.  I mostly heard a man talking and not much 
else.  Because of lightning noise, I could not even identify the language.  I suspect I 
at the least had Lubavitcher Radio (the Jewish Station in Brooklyn).  I took a 
spectrum snapshot of the channel and noted there were at least six distinct carriers.  
Two of them looked strong enough to produce audio.  This is similar to what I noted 
in the past.  In addition to the Brooklyn station, the other strong carrier was likely the 
Haitian pirate station in the Boston area.  I have no idea who the other four stations 
are.  So....  This is a "crowded" channel and we will have to be careful about IDing 
whatever we hear.  In the past, the Brooklyn station is usually off the air Friday 
evening and Saturday morning, assumed for the Sabbath, so that may be the best 
time to hunt for the Argentinean station.

I measured the two strong carriers at 1709.972 and 1710.022.  The other carriers 
were at 1709.989, 1709.992, 1710.011, and 1710.060.  Please keep in mind that 
these measurements are relative to each other and may not be exact because of 
calibration error.

If anyone is interested I can send an inage of the spectrum snapshot on request.  If 
there is enough interest, I will post it to my web site.
