Hi All, I was monitoring 1710 KHz last night and heard something different around 0200 UTC. A variety of music was heard ranging from Aerosmith to James Brown. This went on for a good hour or two until an ID finally around 0320 UTC: "More music in just a moment, here on W807" and then directly into an ad for a Chicago area tattoo parlor. Googling "1710 W807" returned this list of pirate and Part 15 stations on the x-band and "W807" is shown to be from Glasford, IL - a good 180 mile drive or so from Chicago:

So my question, has anyone around Chicagoland heard of this "W807" station before on 1710 KHz? I was hoping that what I heard was a Part 15 station, but another DXer from Detroit was hearing the same so I think we can rule that out. Surprisingly, I found only very few references to "W807" on the net. 73, Tim Tromp West Michigan Perseus SDR + phased BOGs _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
