Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Getting to the bottom of 1710

[David Crawford <davidecrawford@xxxxxxxxx>]

Working down your list, sir...

Have never confirmed that Top Inter is actually on the air; I asked Connelly since he's local, but was ignored, in keeping with 
NRC oligarchical tradition.  It seems unlikely that it is actually on, given Soleil on the same channel, and I've never seen an 
actual log of it that confirmed it was Top Inter and not Soleil.

Will check my peninsular comrades with respect to Dade City.  Note that there are two list entries for the same location.

Lubavitscher (thus nicknamed by virtue of being run by Chabad Lubavitsch sect) used to be easily heard down here but not for a 
few years, far stronger than anything heard there now.

Fenique/Summum was publicized but never confirmed on the air at any of their alleged tx sites.  When Lakay showed up, we first 
thought it was this but it was determined otherwise.  All details about this one were derived solely from their website.

Lakay is off, was audible here daytimes even but didn't last more than a few weeks, last log being 15 April 2008.  I DF'd that 
one to Winter Haven myself.

Soleil is confirmed active, 1709.983, tends to be the second strongest station on channel here, but generally buried by Celestial.

Will inquire regionally re. KONK also.  I thought that was on 1630 (see entry on link below).

Celestial is the dominant 1710 station here, 1710.026 typically.

Big Q has been known to make it into our area during its sporadic appearances, though I have yet to hear it myself since I'm 
rarely DXing at 0300 local.

Most of these stations are somewhat off-freq but generally stable.  Characterization of their freqs down to the Hz would be 
useful for IDing when signal strength doesn't support aural identification.

This site has some Floridian 1710 references:  https://sites.google.com/site/floridadxn/florida-low-power-radio-stations
Terry isn't good about closure on the station entries however, i.e. recording then they disappear, so they don't necessarily 
still exist simply because an entry doesn't say they pulled the plug.

Note the one entry about the WOCL/WKTK relay there;  that's our biggest regional mystery, but it shows up very rarely.

Undercover Radio (SW pirate) has used 1710 on occasion, audible here.

If you plan to do so, it would be great to have a 1710 list online that is actually up-to-date and relies on something besides 
others' old web postings as information sources.  You'd have my enthusiastic support with my own observations.
