Re: [IRCA] 1710 Radio Selva (Argentina) into Michigan right now

[Volodya S]

Tim, going through some of my Masset Perseus wave files, on Dec 30th, UTC
06:59, I'm measuring 2 carriers on the waterfall zoom:   1709.784 and
1709.982, the latter being very similar to the S American station.  Who
knows!   No audio on the 1 file I have checked73,   Walt

[Tim Tromp]

Thanks, Tim.

I've noted the carrier here before but this is the first time that any
audio has ever come through.  The carrier was stronger than usual so I
decided to stick with it for a while, just in case.  Patience paid off!

Happy New Year,
-Tim

Re: [IRCA] 1710 oldies

[Brett Saylor]

 Dave Valko and I were listening last night and heard them sign off at
7:05pm EST with this singing ID. We're debating if the frequency is "1510"
or "1710" and neither of us can make out what comes after the frequency and
before "radio"  - a call? a slogan? It hasn't snapped into focus for me yet:

http://personal.psu.edu/bds2/audio/2018-02-21%20%20PIRATE%20(NA)%20%201710%20%26%20ID%20jingle%20%20(Delta%20Loop).mp3

Anyone else have an idea?

That oldies station on 1710 was heard here in central PA yesterday between
6-7pm EST. Signed off with a singing jingle at 7:05pm. Best on the
south-pointed loop, but I'm not convinced that it's actually in that
direction - it could be that loop rejects the QRM from the Hudson NJ TIS
better.  Also heard at the same time on a Wash DC-area SDR with equal or
better signals. Long fades on both radios.

I've heard reports of it being heard well on a western-PA SDR too.

Maybe a Spanish language pirate from NYC? I remember there was one in
Brooklyn a few years back.

vertical antenna as compared to my 80-meter inverted Vee. At times, the
Hudson County (NJ) TIS competed with the Spanish music station on both
antennas. And as soon as power was restored, the station disappeared into

I have heard this station occasionally at dusk, but have had no luck

Re: [IRCA] 1710 mystery station

[Stan Horzepa]

Hi Les,

In the past as today, this station plays music most of the time and 
seldom has any voice. Also, the station is as weak as my Spanish, so I 
might miss an ID even if they gave one.

very well at night. It’s Spanish language, and they rarely identify. But a 
daytime reception over that distance would be unusual.

Maybe a Spanish language pirate from NYC? I remember there was one in Brooklyn 
a few years back.

I have heard this station occasionally at dusk, but have had no luck

Re: [IRCA] 1710

[Stan Horzepa]

Thanks, Russ.

I listened to the recording again and noticed that the second song I 
heard was actually in English -- sounded like Aretha Franklin. And the 
first song was probably in Spanish as I recognized a couple of words per 
my two years of high school Spanish in the previous century.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 yesterday heard in Scotland

Hi Ken,

Hopefully you were recording last night.  1720 was active with a pirate 
that came on the frequency at 0250 UTC.  The programming was Radio Free 
Whatever (likely relayed by pirate Undercover Radio).  S5-S6 signal 
here, but all alone of course on this frequency.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 yesterday heard in Scotland

[Albert Muick]

Hello Ken,

The station was WQFG689 and is the only  Emergency Radio Service 
authorized on 1710 in the USA.  It runs 10 watts from Jersey City, NJ.  
It was started during Hurricane Katrina and continues because the 
recovery effort continues.  You'll hear a lot of Homeland Security PSAs 
on the station.


For a QSL, contact:
James Woods, Coordinator of Emergency Management
County of Hudson (WQFG689)
555 County Avenue, Bldg. 11
Secaucus, NJ 07094
USA

My initial letter went unanswered until I followed up with a fax to the 
number listed in the FCC database: +1 201 369 5204.  Mr. Woods explained 
that he was still very busy with the cleanup from the hurricane.


The other station you possibly heard there may have been Radio 
Celestial, a NYC church pirate.  They were recently busted and fined.  
Their signal was quite wide-ranging and they had pictures of it on their 
website, which now appears to be streaming only, unless they have 
continued transmissions.  I have not monitored recently.


The website address is www.smjrc.com.  If you hear it again, you can 
compare against their webstream.


Congrats on some amazing DX!!

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Pirate Radio Boston 0230 UTC

[Karl Zuk]

I hear them at my QTH about 45 miles north of NYC.
Some QSB as they flutter in and out of the other melee on this frequency.
This sounds like the same station I heard on the night of December 1.
Sounds very much like a stereotypical pirate - young male ranting, bad rock and 
roll, lots of nudge nudge.
I'm using a Sony ICF-SW7600GR bare back, so they must be getting out pretty 
well.

Thanks for the tip, Tim!

Pirate Radio Boston being heard here at 0230 UTC.  Poor to fair 
over/under Radio Celestial, best in upper sideband to avoid the 1700 
splatter.  Music and banter between two announcers, reading reception 
reports sent in from various DXers, seems to be the same holiday program 
that's been widely reported on 1720 and various shortwave frequencies 
during the Christmas holiday.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 KHz TiS Station

[neilkaz]

I'll be in WI in early March and will try to bag that there. Perhaps I can get 
this from IL, but the powerlines east of me are extremely noisy since huge 
T-storms this summer so I have no antenna aimed that way now, but that doesn't 
mean that I can't put down a or reverse the feed and termination on my westerly 
Double KAZ antenna to aim east although I expect too much noise.

This TIS has been a nightly visitor here since it was first reported the
other night.  It comes in at the same level as the Radio Celestial pirate.
So the question remains, is this a new TIS station or did something change
allowing it to be widely heard?  I frequently monitor 1710 and haven't
heard this TIS before it was first reported on the lists.

 I'm still wondering why this station is being suddenly so
 well heard. Since it's continued for several nights now, we
 can rule out propagation
 events. TIS transmitters don't have a provision to allow
 cheating by increasing the power. So I'm wondering if they
 just came on the air, or
 relocated one of the transmitters to a new location?
 
 Still nothing here on 1710 KHz, but I continue to check. If
 I could get day off from work, I might install the Wellbrook
 loop away from the hash of the
 house and improve my odds.

I'm quite sure I would've noticed them before as well, so I suspect it's a 
new transmitter that just came on the air (or was moved to a new location) 
this past week.  Whether the other four transmitters listed on their license 
are also on the air is anybody's guess.

I couldn't find an email address, but if anyone feels like calling to find 
out more, this appears to be the appropriate person to contact:

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Last Night

[Chernos Saul]

I heard NWS type info on 1710 on my drive home from Burnt River ON to Toronto 
last night. I can only suspect it's the same NJ station. I think it may even be 
the same NWS alert as one on - I think - 1630 - mentions of Execution Rocks, 
Monmouth came through loud enough to discern even on my car radio. Saul

 A little late to the game, but thanks to Saul Chernos's DX tip, I camped on
 1710 for awhile late last night. Spanish pirate dominated, but there were
 two or three others under, including what sounded like a TIS/HAR
 simulcasting an NWS weather broadcast. It faded in and out and sounded it
 had a network echo. No positive ID though, just the weather with mentions
 of New York harbor.
 
 I'll keep trying!

I tuned to 1710 and only heard a lot of noise plus a weak pirate playing 
music (R. Celestial).  I thought Saul was exaggerating about the TIS being 
huge, when, lo and behold, a signal rose up out of the noise with talk about 
amber alerts, various PSAs, and WQFG689 ID - and they really were huge for a 
few minutes.  Thanks for the tip!

BTW, I measured the TIS carrier frequency to be 1710.0032.

slick jingles, parady oldie songs, old nostalgic clips of WLS, WABC and

Noted today, around 1500UTC another and this time an illegal Hmong station with 
Pt. 15 type power on 1710. Just a little background, St. Paul is rich in the 
Hmong community and have operated a Pt. 15 station on most of the x-band 
frequencies. Sometimes they operated 3-4 stations at a time in different parts 
of St. Paul. This in addition to semi-local 1600 and newly acquired 690 within 
the past 6 weeks or so.

No, seriously.. I'm asking.. you contradicted yourself there.

if they're Part 15, it's legal.

if they are running multiple Part 15 transmitters slaved together at one
location or multiple transmitters synched together across different
locations, that's legal.

Part 15 AM deals with individual power of each transmitter, not multiple
transmitters together.

Hi Steve,

I went back and checked my recordings.  At 0655 UTC they were playing the
song A single girl needs a sweet loving man to lean on.  Then at 0656 the
announcement You got the Midnight Man doing it to it!, The Big Q! and
directly into another oldies tune How Danny Boy got his name.  Sounds

Patrick,

My mistake, the signal was heard on the NW long-wire, not the SW ewe.
On the antenna switch I had the coax mixed.  Just corrected the mistake.
I now have four antennas.  Just added the Kiwa loop.  Tonight the only
antenna that can get any audio from 1710 is the NW long-wire and the signal
is only S-2.   The palstar tuner helps when in the tune mode.  Surprised their
still on the air, the Vancouver, WA 1710 Russian station got shut down a few
months after being on the air by the FCC.  I read that the FCC field station in 
Portland, OR
keeps it's radio direction finding vehicle in Vancouver, WA.

Thanks Dennis. Yes, the Russian is a regular visitor here nightly.
Depending on Northerly cx, the signal strength does vary. The best
signal is off the NE EWE, aimed pretty much at the Puget Sound. I even
get the Russian station carrier durng the day! Rarely any audio though,
except maybe in mid Winter. You might try for the Fort Lewis TIS in the
morning after LSR on 1500. They are also common after CA fades out.

Great catch. A regular here most night and there is more than one

SS one on 1710 East of here. Larry Godwin hears that one often, it may

For anyone keeping tabs on this station, I heard them again briefly this
morning, this time on the car radio during my one-hour commute to work on
I-96.  First noted about 1124 UTC tune-in with oldies, vintage Remco radio
kit ad, Chickenman at 1130 UTC, and then off (or faded) by 1135 UTC.  This
was on 1710 khz, local sunrise, signal was poor mainly due to adjacent slop
from 1700 khz.

Happened to have the Perseus on some overnight recordings last night, 
and indeed The Big Q was in there, quite nicely at times, on the 0900, 
1000, and 1100 UTC recordings.  As someone mentioned, the signal dropped 
off shortly after 1100.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 khz The Big Q oldies pirate

[Eric Koester]

I heard The Big Q from Minneapolis on Jan.2.  It was MUCH weaker than 
Tim's report from Michigan.  I was using a 40m dipole and switching 
between my Icom 706 and a Icom IC-PRC100.  Most of the time, I could not 
make out any lyrics, or clear announcer speech.
In the past, its been heard in London, Ontario and western Michigan.  
Since it was strong in Michigan and so weak in Minneapolis, it must be 
to the E or NE of Tim in Michigan?
I just got a LD-1B SDR from Lazy Dog Engineering.  Next time The Big Q 
comes on, I hope to SEE the signal peaks on my pc screen. :)

Thanks to all for the image info . If the IF is 450 Khz instead of 455 that 
would explain the 1710 but It only happens when two local strength signals come 
together so with a local 900 on 10KW and a super strong signal on 810 from 
SF in the last few nights it would be the result.There is only one other local 
on 1070 but it is not audible in the image on 1710.I did not try another 
receiver but I'll give that a go and see if its an inside or outside produced 
signal with the digital tuner. Too bad it wasn't the Western Washington Russian 
on 1710 that guys are trying to locate there so I'm probably not close enough 
anyway.Bill in BC

Steve,

Not hearing anything on 1710 here in Salmon Creek.
That oldies format sounds a lot better than the 
programming on the radio stations that are in 
this area.  I have to tune 640 KFI and listen to 
Bill Handle for stimulating radio. Maybe this oldies
station can plug my GE super radio when I place it 
on eBay soon.

Just spent 45 minutes listening to the 1710 pirate, no sign of ident, 
finally stopped recording--time for bed. Signal has little fading but not a 
great signal, maybe 80-90% understanding it. Mostly plays 60's oldies with 
occasional very short voice into the next song. Occasional humorous ads, 
possibly old original ads. One that played several times about buying a GE 
Superradio on eBay (since it's no longer being made) since that radio is 
good for superior AM reception. Another humorous ad about a lady with very 
large feet who needs to find mens's brown loafers in size 11 to fit her 
feet.
Maybe eventually someone else will hear this and can give some more input 
about where it might come from. Mid west or west coast, since little fading 
on the signal? Best on my E/W longwire.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station

  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).

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station

[Guy Atkins]

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.

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

If the FCC busted the Vancouver/Portland station I wonder why they don't go 
after the (stronger) Puget Sound station.

My two 1710 signals are occasionally the same level now; both sound similar

Re: [IRCA] 1710 Russian Station

[Guy Atkins]

At 0530 utc tonight I tried for the Russian language station on 1710. Since
a number of folks have mentioned hearing it easily, I figured so should I.

Nope! *Barely* a scratchy het is heard, and Perseus shows just a 4 or 5 dB
S/N at the most. That's on the best of four antennas available, too! Very
odd.

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.

Rumor has it that there's a 1 watt signal emanating from the Toledo area

Re: [IRCA] 1710 kHz Pirate station in Portland, OR caught by FCC

[vroomski]

Walt,

About 6 months ago I track a Russian station on 1710 kHz to a neighborhood near 
164 th street
in Vancouver.  Very expensive homes in this neighborhood.  Have not heard this 
station
this summer in my visits to the area.  It seems that the Seattle area Russian 
station on 
1710 is still transmitting?  In the Portland, OR area we have a Resident agent 
office while
Seattle has a District office.

Re: [IRCA] 1710 kHz Pirate station in Portland, OR caught by FCC

[vroomski]

Patrick,

I paid $12.99 for the Talking House transmitter.  The Goodwill store had 3 of 
them.
When I plugged it into a ground-fault outlet, it tripped the breaker.  It works
when pugged into a regular AC outlet.  4 ft wire for a antenna in our den,
I could hear it a house or two away on the Escape radio.  On the bottom of the 
transmitter it says that it complies with Part 15 of FCC rules of regulations.
Last time I visited the Goodwill store the other two were gone.  One sold on 
e-bay
last week for around $32.00.

The Seattle area Russian station on 1710 is just a level 3 carrier here.

Good tracking, Dennis. What with the dishes, it is not impossible that it is 
relaying the same program as the one we tracked down to the southern fringes of 
Everett. I'm waiting for one to show up in Federal Way; every time I go to 
Costco or Winco I invariably hear Russian being spoken.

Hi Dennis,
 
Great detective work! The Russian communities in western Washington seem  
fairly well connected, so maybe the Vancouver 1710 kHz Russians got the 
pirate  idea from the Puget Sound community? I wonder if the programming is  
the 
same, or similar.

My wife and I found the area that the Pirate station on 1710  kHz is

the signal starts to fade. On the way back home we were  able to hear the 
weak fading signal 4 1/2 miles West of the  location.  The area in Eastern 
Vancouver, WA is in a very expensive  neighborhood with some areas being 
gated. Using the volume control on the  Escape radio we kept lowering the 
level
and soon were able to get within  probably 1/8 mile of the transmitter.  
No antennas were seen, only a  few satellite dishes. Many huge pine trees 
in the area.  It reminded  me of when some of us at the IRCA Flagstaff 
convention tracked down the  station with the long wire antenna. We used 
the 
volume control as a sort  of RF control. For instance, the volume was 
lowered 
and the closer we got  to the transmitter site,the louder the audio got. The
volume control was  set to six and the signal vanished within 1/8 of a mile 
from 
the  transmitter area.  Much like the Seattle area Russian station heard 
this  
past summer, but not as strong in the signal  department.

There is a fair amount of Russian programming on G19 and some of it is
in the clear.

Thanks Dennis. So probably the carrier I get days is the Puget Sound
one. How far do you live from them?

Gary,

You might be right with the Russian community in Washington working
together to set up a radio stations.  The same frequency and good equipment
to broadcast with.  Seattle area Russian station having far more coverage.

Hi Dennis,
 
Great detective work! The Russian communities in western Washington seem  
fairly well connected, so maybe the Vancouver 1710 kHz Russians got the 
pirate  idea from the Puget Sound community? I wonder if the programming is  
the 
same, or similar.

If these AM signals go more then about 1 or 2 miles, they are most likely
not legal.

Pete,

I'm in Costco once a week and Winco twice a week and yes
I also hear Russian being spoken. The person running this
station must have money because the neighborhood is custom
build houses.

Paul,

Just being a radio listener and not a electrical engineer I would guess
with the power restrictions and antenna height restrictions of the fcc (part 
15)that
this station is not compliment to FCC rules.  Good signal 3/4 mile away and 
heard
weakly 4 1/2 miles away.
