[IRCA] 1710 mystery station
--- Begin Message --- Stan- FYI, this station has also been heard by a friend of mine in Newington, CT. All he hears is music, no announcements. He hears it at night. I'm not sure if he has checked during the day.

All I had last night was the mixing product, which bears about due south of me, with both 710 and 1000 originating on different places on Vashon Island. Assuming the mystery station is also to the south, nulling the mixing product to the hear the Russian may mean that I have to sell my house and move.

Hello Guys, For the first time, I'm trying the new 10' box loop at night, and it has two weak signals on 1710 kHz at opposite bearings-- the previously discovered KIRO-710 and KOMO-1000 mixing product at 300 degrees, and another weak station in the null of the mixing product at 030 (or 210) degrees, presumably the Russian. Weak male-voiced audio was heard on this station around 0440 UTC, and was not // to either KIRO or KOMO. Kind of tough to get much audio out of it, though, and the getting accurate DF with the mixing product on the frequency is a little tricky. 73, Gary In a message dated 5/23/2009 9:42:02 P.M.

I have an Aunt who lives in Port Townsend, Washington and I've asked her to check on her radios at home at least once during the day and once at night to see if she gets anything on them. I've also asked her to check next time she's in the car during the day and the evening.. I know she also goes to Seattle once a week, so this may or may not help. I don't know when/if she'll do this or if it'll even be useful, but I didn't think it'd hurt to ask her for help. I'll let you know if I hear anything back from her.

But hey, if you've got your priorities in line, you do you crazy things! Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA (for now...) Hello Guys, For the first time, I'm trying the new 10' box loop at night, and it has two weak signals on 1710 kHz at opposite bearings-- the previously discovered KIRO-710 and KOMO-1000 mixing product at 300 degrees, and another weak station in the null of the mixing product at 030 (or 210) degrees, presumably the Russian. Weak male-voiced audio was heard on this station around 0440 UTC, and was not // to either KIRO or KOMO. Kind of tough to get much audio out of it, though, and the getting accurate DF with the mixing product on the frequency is a little tricky. 73, Gary In a message dated 5/23/2009 9:42:02 P.M.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Mystery Station
Friday through Sunday I was camping in central Washington, north of Cle Elum (N. Fork of the Teanaway River, 47°24'16.43N, 120°55'54.70W), and checked 1710 kHz frequently from Friday sunset onwards. I brought along the Eton E1, a 10:1 transformer, coax lead-in, and 100 feet of random wire. I also had a handful of smaller receivers like the CCrane SWP, Degen DE1103, and Eton E100 (all stock). I was going to bring along laptops and the Perseus receivers but at the last moment decided the trip was already complicated enough, and left them at home. The signal of 1710 (~1709.99 as best as I could tell on the E1) was widely variable in signal strength, but the best level was around local sunset on Friday. When I first tuned in, 1710 was at a fair to good level with Russian language religious programming, but dropped quickly to a mere whisper just a couple minutes later. The rest of the trip they were at threshold level to poor, or sometimes just a carrier. As others have mentioned it seems to be a 24 hours operation. I checked occasionally between midnight and sunrise and heard the same very weak signal and programming. Using the radios I had on hand which have an internal loopstick (all but the E1), as best as I can tell the bearing was slightly NNW-SSE (~345/165 degrees). Yakima is a city on this bearing to the SSE. However, I don't have a lot of confidence in this due to the weak signal making DF'ing tough. I wish I had though of trying one of the loopstick radios during the brief period of good signal on 1710 at sunset on Friday.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Mystery Station
Hi Guy, Thanks for the report. Here in Puyallup there is a weak mixing product of KIRO-710 and KOMO-1000 on 1710 kHz at a bearing of around 310 degrees, which makes an accurate DF of the Russian station at night (which is even weaker) rather tricky. There is no daytime ground wave carrier of the Russian here like Steve and Walt have noticed, even on the new 10' box loop-- just the mixing product. Maybe you will be able to detect two 1710 kHz carriers on your Perseus. If so, you are welcome to borrow any of the large traveling loops here for further investigation. 73, Gary In a message dated 5/24/2009 8:26:23 P.M.

[IRCA] 1710 Mystery Station - not near Seattle?
Hi Pat/all: I tried for it last night, and had a het on the H-900 whip but nothing on a Quantum Loop tied into a larger crate loop. Given that it only appeared on an untuned antenna, I suspected that it was the KIRO-KOMO mixing product, so I tuned the Quantum Loop base unit to 1000 and 710, and sure enough the het appeared with audio from those two stations. So, my guess is that it's not anywhere near the Seattle/Tacoma area, since I would at least get a weak het on it. What I heard the other night was probably the mixing product. I'm not that far from Everett and Bellingham as the crow flies, either, with a water path to them.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Mystery Station - not near Seattle?
Kevin, I wonder if there is a Russian population up in Central BC, like around Kamloops?That would since connect with the directional pattern of the NE EWE.

Your DF is to the South and mine to the NE, that still points to the Puget Sound, unless there is some other area with a Russian population, off to the West or the East, but it is skip alright.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Mystery Station - not near Seattle?
Just a thought, but has anyone checked any of the other stations, FCC licensed ones, that run russian programming at the same time theyre hearing the 1710 signal to see if it's some kind of weirdo mixing product? I once heard a mixing product on 1230 a very clear signal from a nearby 1450, and never ever figured out how that came to be!

Hello 1710 searchers, From Pat location to Steves location in NE Oregon is 291 miles as the crow flies. My location North of Portland, OR to Walt's location is about 251 miles. That's quite a large area. The best the signal has been here is fair with a lot of fading into the noise. It has been heard by Steve and myself around 1200 or later utc. It seems to Dxers to the South (Pat, Steve, myself) seem to receive the signal stronger than others? Tonight the signal was fair a few times, but mostly down in the noise. Hopefully Colin can hear this station and add some more information.
