On 1640 last week I heard a very clear loop recording as follows:
"This is WPWF986 broadcasting on 1610 AM. This message will repeat."
As advertised, it repeated over and over. Just that short message.
There is indeed a station with those calls on 1610. It's assigned to PA DoT and
seems centred

I look for reasons to not count things like this as a new stn. For me, even if
it was off for 50 years and then came back on the same freq serving the same
market I'd not count it as new. Just my opinion
1640 WSJP WI is on the air with Relevant Radio programming (Catholic). Heard
last night.
I guess with WKSH off for so long this would count as a new station?
I much prefer the meteor scatter burst heard while starting to type this. On

It jumped out of nothing

to Artie Bigley for finding this on the reactivated RadioInsight.com board for
Oklahoma, posted by Lance Venta, yet *another* format change

Hi Nick,
Unless the tones were being modulated over the normal programming heard

which leads me back to KBJA since Spanish programming wasn't heard here

Heard classical piano music on 1640 around the time of my local sunset this
evening. It's recorded and I'll post audio shortly. I doubt it's directly
IDable. But the channel bears more attention than it's been getting ... There's
probably a slew of TIS/HAR stations that can be had, and perhaps
I bet that classical piano music is WKSH.

Wow, thats quite the vast forecast area. There is 1 640 in Clearfield,
Harrisburg and philly... so sounds to me like it's all a network, with

1640 unID 7 Dec 0753 TIS underneath a PA TIS mentioned Interstate 89,

I agree with Patrick. My own experience has been some TIS operations do
use brief instrumental music as a bridge into another announcement.
Legal? No. I don't think that the FCC would get too excited about such.
HOWEVER, entire selections would go a LITTLE too far.
