[IRCA] Russian on 1710



Fellas,

We finally made it to the NW after delaying a month longer than normal so that I could take part in my 50th (!!!) high school reunion in Stillwater, OK. As we came through Seattle, Iwe stopped just north of the northern conjunction of I-5 and I-405 and I got out a Tecsun PW-300WT to check 1710. I could just barely hear some audio. It sounded to me like a male speaking in a Slavic language and it looped generally N-S, which would agree well with a northern Seattle/Lynnwood QTH for the transmitter. The signal was quite weak. We stopped again a couple of times in Mount Vernon, WA on our way north and there was NOTHING.... I mean n o t h i n g... audible on the stock PW-300WT.

This morning a bit after dawn, I fired up the big rig hooked to a super loop and I could hear two things on 1710. One, the dominant, was obviously an EE mixing product or image that I was too lazy to ID. The other might have been Russian, though it was too weak to be sure.

I guess that my main message is that there was no transmitter on the air from Mt. Vernon.

I'm looking forward to getting back to dawn TP DXing here in the next week.
