DXing from West Michigan - times/dates in UTC 1709.974 khz UNID Pirate - 0415 UTC 10/2/11 - Something different on 1710 tonight, faint but coming up to audio during fade-ups. Heard parts of Pink Floyd's "Money" at 0415 and repeated again at 0419. At 0429 a heavy metal song was played. At 0432 official sounding announcement "..the use of this channel..." and faded. At 0451 it sounded like a documentary program with talk over dramatic music concerning the 1968 Thule Air Base B-52 crash and the atomic bombs it was carrying. Then into more talk of nuclear weaponry including many old newsreel clips about the atomic bomb. This was in and out of the noise. Still present at 0535 UTC with the same subject matter. By 0600 UTC, Radio Celestial owned the channel with music and later preaching on 1710.03 khz. A re-check at 0930 UTC revealed the same 1709.974 signal still present. This one was unlike any of the other stations I've caught here before. The frequency offset doesn't match Radio Celestial or Radio Soleil Int'l (unless Soleil has changed within the last year?) I never did catch any kind of station ID or live announcement. Seven distinct frequency offsets were noted on 1710 during this time. It sure would be interesting to know who each is. (TROMP-MI)
