7200khz now commercial station

Didn't that used to be the Sudan?

Yes it did but they have now moved to 7205 kHz. For a few days I have noticed a station playing Latin American music in AM on 7200 kHz. It is audible direct here in Canada but is much stronger on the Caribbean Netherlands KiwiSDR. I haven’t listened for long but if it is on again tonight I will have a longer listen. I want to try and find out if this is possibly a new commercial station (although I have yet to hear any announcements, but again I haven’t listened for long) or a Latin American ham playing his favourite tunes on his radio. However it does have a full 10 kHz wide audio which most ham transceivers can’t do. Currently the only legal stations listed for 7200 kHz are Myanmar Radio and National Unity Radio via Taiwan.

ALGERIA. RTV de Algerienne has been noted recently testing on 7200 kHz.

2025 OM talking but volume too low to hear
2027 Noise like adjusting a control knob or sound heard searching in between shortwave frequencies, then OM "Is he awake?"
Reception then returned to very low level.  Don't think it's peskies, nothing on USB or LSB.

Keeping in mind that 7200 is one of those North American HAM frequencies that apparently causes mental retardation, much like 14313.

14313 is reserved for the Ivy League of HAMS. They have to prep at certain frequencies on 75 and 40 meters to learn how to step on nets, cuss using the proper "C" codes, and run too much broadband RF power. Only then can they matriculate to 14313.
