SDR recording catch
2325 Carrier came on
2326 Repeated WQFG689 IDs & technical difficulties message. WQFG689 is the infamous Hudson County NJ TIS from 1710 kHz. Generally an SIO 433, good signal, static from storms
2340 YL now, not sure yet what she is saying... mentions of an election?
2346 WQFG689 ID and off
Thanks for the fun poke at the worst TIS station in the entire country :) Any chance of an eQSL?

Heard it here as well. Coincidentally (?) 1710 was running the same message at the same time. I enjoyed the irony. :)

Hahahaha... Why is that the worst TIS station? I find it rather enjoyable! I'm not far from Springfield, MA, so can often hear the other 1710 station from the old Springfield Armory as well. I assume WQFG689 is still operating at its temporary higher power level, though, since it totally swamps out the Springfield signal, despite Springfield being much closer to my QTH.
