Good signal at S9, music and vocals clear and sounding very good. No ID yet.

WEUP AM (Huntsville. AL) may be a possibility. It is supposed to broadcast on 1700 khz but it may have been off frequency that nite. This station broadcasts "Urban Contemporary/Gospel" at 10 kw daytime but only 1 kw at nite. 1 kw ain't much punch power but you're only 160 miles TX/RX distance and it was late evening (your time) so its a possibility.
Just a thought.

If it was around 660Kc or lower at that time of day I'd agree but 1700 is a bit too high I fear.

WEUP doesn't care. "20 kHz wide with the Lord's permission."
There was a religious pirate running out of Baton Rouge in SS last year on 1710. I can't recall their name though? They seemed to be running a decent amount of power as they were as loud as other stations running 1-5 kW from the same region.

I catch that station duking it out with a sports station from Iowa early in the morning.

There used to be a station in McAllen, Tx. on 1700 that Id'ed as the "Voice of The Lower Rio Grande Valley". One of the last AOR's on MW. Wouldn't you know ESPN bought them out a few years back? Now they fight it out for "Dumb Jock DX" in my region with that Iowa station.
I'm thinking one of the whopper hurricanes that hit the central Gulf states in the past 8-9 years screwed w/ WEUP's ground? They're not nearly the blaster they were in the mid-aughts.
