Radio Trans Mundial/TWR Bonaire 800 kHz 02:00 UTC Jan 31 2002
Actually tuned in at 01:30 UTC and listened until just after 02:00. Received on a small, indoor, passive, non-resonant, single wire loop antenna. Good signal tonight and have posted a YouTube clip "Radio Trans Mundial ID" with ID at about thirty seconds in:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ5E62jl-Us
My QTH is about 1500 miles from Bonaire and I believe that they are using 400+ KW - signal beamed North (towards Cuba) each day until 03:00 UTC.
If you'd like to experiment with one of these loop antennas - they are easy to make and I will include a link to a ham website that has some detailed info at the end of this post.
The loop is very directional and often can null out interfering stations. One word of warning though - these small loops have very low signal outputs. A good, sensitive receiver is suggested for DXing. Eventually I plan to test a few antenna mounted pre-amps as well.
Here's the link to the small loop ham page :

UNID 1710 AM (listening in USB) 0610 UTC 27 JAN 2022
Music mixing in with and frequently dominating the NJ Covid TIS on 1710 kHz - heard at least one announcement when they were fading but tough to make much out of it - occasionally the music totally dominates the frequency but it only lasts a short while. Listening in USB with good clarity - too much splatter from 1700 in AM mode. They seem to be zero beat very well the TIS.

At 02:50 UTC Jan 7 2022 / 9:50 PM US Eastern Time...
"Mystery 21 - The Spirit of Music" - 4870 kHz - Germany/Holland? - programming in English right now - at 02:52 they made solid ID and gave email address / Facebook page - now playing music again.
Not super strong and static crashes to boot - but still good enough for solid ID. First time I've heard this one.
