Not sure if this is a pirate or a legit MW station. Been listening since around 0300 UTC and heard songs by Patsy Cline, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett. Also heard a ".com" advertisement by YL. Programming formats for the stations listed as using this frequency don't fit what I'm hearing. Hmmm.....

0326- "Stone In Love"  S9 with another station underneath this one talking in Greek
0329- "Sunday Will Never Be The Same"
0334- "There's A Place For Us" Barbara Streisand
0336- "You Fill Up My Senses (Annie's Song)" John Denver
0339- YL with a commercial for some .com website
0340- Greek language station now on top of this UNID
0341- UNID back strong with ads for Pure Water and Pro Active acne medication
0344- "Get Your Kicks On Route 66"
0353- "California Dreaming" Mamas and Papas
0356- "Didn't We Almost Have It All" Whitney Houston
0400- ID of WPTX (Lexington Park, MD)

 OK so it is a legit MW station, my bad. Please move topic when a moderator gets a chance. Thanks!  :)

It's the dominant station on 1690 here. That music lineup tells you why I just tune on past it.

When normal east-west props go weak, I can hear CHTO fairly well. Otherwise, all can hear of it is bits of audio when WPTX fades a bit.
