Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station
It is 0855 PST and the Russian 1710 is still coming in very weakly with music, barely above threshold. A stronger carrier though.

<< Gary DeBock-- if you're reading this can you try 1710 and let us know if you hear the station in your Puyallup valley location? It's not even close to being in audio here. >> Hi Guy, As I recall, when the 1710 Russian was first discovered (and many of us were investigating the bearing), you and I both came up with a 1710 spurious signal (apparently a mix of 710-KIRO and 1000-KOMO) that nulled toward Vashon Island. This made it difficult for us to dig out the real 1710-Russian signal, which came from true north (not from around 300 degrees, like the spur). There were only a few times that I could hear the real 1710-Russian signal weakly, and that was around local midnight on the 9' loop (in the back yard). 73, Gary In a message dated 12/6/2010 9:57:03 P.M.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station
It sounds like two different ones now by your report Steve. Dennis reported one in the Vancouver WA area, but I heard that one was shut down by the FCC. Has it resurfaced? Only the one noted here, from the Puget Sound. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ 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

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station
My two 1710 signals are occasionally the same level now; both sound similar to each other--presumed-Russian religious stuff. Odd! Certainly not simulcasting; but presently two slow-talking men talking in presumably Russian. 0319utc.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station
I'm hearing it too this early evening, 0310 utc, poor/weak, a man speaking, possibly preaching. Plus there's a much weaker station underneath, can't tell anything about it. (Using USB mode so I don't get splatter from the strong 1700 regular station.) If the FCC busted the Vancouver/Portland station I wonder why they don't go after the (stronger) Puget Sound station.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station
Thanks Pat (and Chuck & Tom also) for your comments. Now I'm really puzzled at the station's absence here! I didn't tune ECSS to check for a het, just tuned past the frequency each time in AM mode. I was using my AOR receiver rather than Perseus so I couldn't "see" any activity on a spectrum or waterfall display. I've been testing and comparing three 1-meter active loop antennas recently, and the fact that they are all oriented with the nulls N-S may have contributed to the absence of signal. That didn't occur to me earlier. Back to 1710 kHz with Perseus and my usual 35 x 40 ft. broadband term. loop with a forward lobe aimed north-northwest! I'll check it out tonight when I get home.
