[IRCA] WRCR testing on 1700?



UNIDENTIFIED. Is WRCR testing on 1700 kHz? I have a log entry that doesn't
quite fit. Since no one else checked in, I'll report it late. 03-31-2008 at
0625 GMT (0235 EDT) on 1700 kHz was heard Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack.
This was over the weak and fluttery WEUP Af Am Gospel. Some digging revealed
one possible source: a test of WRCR's newly assigned frequency. CP is dated
10/2007 and the locator shows the tower positions for day/nite at the fcc amq
pages. 

WRCR is based at Ramapo College (Spring Valley, NY is license) and broadcasts
from a local mall. Considering the move from 1300 kHz to 1700, and the nice
power increase, looks like a good Eastern US catch. Reported power is full
X-Band 10 kW day and 1 kW nite on 1700 kHz (Ramapo, NY new license) and WRCR is
rated 500 W day and 83W nights on 1300 kHz.

Wondering if anyone else has heard. Might be on again after midnight tonite.
I'll call this a test reception for now 32233 with fades and static, and WEUP
under (Paul Shaffer Cheshire, CT, April 6, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

Could be, but beware of pirates in the northeast
