[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.
