I am just getting around to digitizing some 20+ hours of tapes from the 70's and 80's - Mostly station ID's, medium wave DX and lots of SW stations (now defunct of course...) And it never ceases to amaze me the longevity of cassette - Reel to reel tape is a little different - somewhat older techn

Despite checking the frequency on a nearly nightly basis for years, I can honestly say that I’ve yet to log any station on 1710 KHz. This includes pirates, TIS stations, etc. To my knowledge only one TIS station is authorized to broadcast here, which I believe to be WQFG689
