[IRCA] 1720 & 1710 Khz "The Big Q" this morning

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

1710 & 1720 SDR catches early this morning:

Came on at 0525z as near as I can tell.  Radio Celestial from the Bronx
was annoyingly strong here last night, about 25Hz or so to the high side
of 1710.

1710 KHz:

0525z: Rick Nelson "Garden Party"
0527z: Big Q ID
0528z: Announcer describing switching from digital to analog processing
equipment for a better quality AM sound, new antenna array, etc. with
clever audio voice-overs tossed in.
0529z: Announcer "Midnight Man" talking up the GE Superadio, signal
abruptly dropped giving way to Radio Celestial again, technical issue I
assume.

1720 KHz:

0808z: Noted back again, but on 1720, with massive AM carrier and high
pitched test tones, and unobstructed signal thanks to the clear channel.
I bet this would have been widely heard on this frequency if people had
known to listen.  Christmas oldies, slick jingles, and 20 Khz wide
audio.

These are worth a listen if you haven't heard the station before:
