Re: [IRCA] Unid on 1710 Saturday

[Saul DX <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are no Spanish pirates in the Boston area that I know of. I know of at 
least two French-language, the Haitian Crole dialect, actually. One is Radio 
Soleil Internationale, the other is Radio Top Inter. Soleil has been heard 
very recently. Both are supposedly in the Boston area, where I believe there 
must be enough of a Haitian ex-pat population to support it. There's also at 
least one or two Spanish-language pirates in the U.S. There's evidence one 
is in the Bronx, and speculation of another in the Norfolk VA area. The one 
believed to be in CA is apprently running non-stop Spanish religious music 
with no talk or IDs. I heard this one a few days ago, taped it right through 
the TOH, with no success at anything IDable. I've also previously heard a 
station with Spanish talk and music there, seemingly also religious. This 
may be the Bronx station - and all this presupposes that the two stations 
are indeed different. I did have strong Spanish music on 1710 during auroral 
cx with a BOG aimed south, when signals were good to an area from VA to the 
Caribbean, and out to TN and Mexico.
