Title: 650 AM music?
Post by: PhreDX on April 24, 2020, 0502 UTC
Anyone else hearing a fairly eclectic mix of music (no voice, no id's) on 650 kHz continuously over the past few days?  Seems to drown out WSM and I've heard harmonics on 1300, 1950, 2600, 3250, 3900, 4550, and 5200.  I'm listening on a KiwiSDR in Maryland via the web.

It wasn't on 650, but I heard something similar on 600 khz a couple of months ago. 

OK, here's a weird one for ya.  Pulled it in off the Hampton Bays, NY SDR.  Spanish-language music on 600 AM.....sounded like they were singing the same thing over and over, LOL. 

The station in question was overrunning WICC 600 (Bridgeport, CT).  I can't find any Spanish-language station in the area on that frequency....possible pirate, maybe? Little help?

Could this be the same thing?

Thanks for the reply Matt_B.  I guess it could be something similar.  It's still there, but a much weaker signal now.  The harmonics have disappeared and I can only hear it on 650 AM, and I now hear WSM in the background.

The pirate remains on air with little to no bass in their audio. Listening on our very own Chris Smolinki's SDR in westminster. No idea but I would suspect it to be either a part 15 operation of his own, or a local pirate.
