Re: [IRCA] 1709.83 mystery carrier, Argentina?

[Mark Pettifor <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Heard "WQFG" several times around 0342-0346, while listening to the 
mystery station on 1709.85. Have you gotten anything more here Tim on 
who this might be? It's there every evening, but I've had no audio yet. 
I'm actually trying to listen on USB, with a notch on 1700, to avoid the 
splatter from 1700. That's when I heard the TIS from NJ.

And yes, 1700 is a mess of offsets. I zoomed way in the other night, and 
there were a lot of carriers, and not one was spot on 1700!

Best,
