Thanks Chuck (and all). Your investigation is appreciated. Apparently my antenna testing around 1145 UTC coincided directly with 1610-CHHA's local sunrise in Toronto, resulting in the freakishly strong signal for the 6.25 kW station at 2,065 miles (3,323 km). Actually, Walt, your recent 1610-CHHA reports were what motivated me to investigate this, although the reception occurred in mid-December. Originally I thought that a new Spanish pest station had started broadcasting in Tacoma, WA (5 miles away :-) Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Hutton" <charle...@msn.com> To: "Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America" <irca@hard-core-dx.com> Sent: Thursday, February 2, 2017 11:34:22 AM Subject: Re: [IRCA] 1610-UnID Spanish Blaster At :53 and 1:07, clear v"Voces Latina" IDs and an ad with a telephone number for the Departamiento de Ventas of 416 182 2953.

At S9 strength for several minutes, the station featured an English-language public service message at the beginning of this MP3, followed by the Spanish "La Voz de la Communidad" ID. https://app.box.com/s/ln29rp40nn5ypyyp9kgoi265bgsq70lb Any ideas who this might be? Walt often mentions 1610-CHHA in Toronto, but Mexico also has a 5 kW station on the frequency. Either one would seem pretty unusual to manage such a potent signal on the 5 inch Mini-FSL that was being tested. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) .. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca IRCA Info Page - montreal.kotalampi.com<http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca> montreal.kotalampi.com This group is for those interested in AM (Broadcast Band) DXing, sponsored by the International Radio Club of America (IRCA) To see the collection of prior postings ...
