Title: WPXT 1690 AM 0200 UTC Nightly 2025
Post by: ThaDood on April 25, 2025, 1716 UTC
Pretty much every night, at around 10PM EST, I'm hearing this 1690AM station playing mainly 60's hits, and occasionally a 70's hit. No ID heard, as of yet, but a generic, "Your oldies station!", either by an OM, or a YL. Occasional fading, but most of the time this station dominates. Here's my choices on Radio Locator,    https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=&band=AM&freq=1690&freq_exact=Yes&city=&state=&country=&format=&owner_search=starts&owner=&scope=&is_ful=Y&is_lp=Y&is_lic=Y&is_cp=Y&sort=Call&count=100&sr=1&sid=  But, nothing really corresponds to this list. Any clues???

OK, clarification and update:
10PM EST Daylight Saving Time. Finally, last night, around 10:20PM, the 60's tunage went to Zip Recruiter commercial, then a WPXT 1690AM / 107.1FM ID, then back to tunage. https://radio-locator.com/info/WPTX-AM?loc=38.25891%2C-76.45059&locn=Lexington%20Park%2C%20Maryland
So, that mystery is solved. Nope, no pirate, but that automation software seemed setup as to where you'd think that it was.
