Triumph "Lay it on the line" bubbled up over the noise floor just briefly, very weak for a few seconds and then lost.

Weak with occasional audio:

0412z: Ten Years After "I'd Love to Change the World"

Edit 11/23/23: After a second night of hearing this I've finally identified the source of the programming as coming from AM 1580 WWCD "CD 92.9", an alternative rock station in Columbus, Ohio with an FM translator on 92.9.  1580 WWCD programming is parallel to 1550 WQCD in Delaware, OH.  I'm guessing this is some sort of spur or mixing product.

This math may explain it: 1717.68-1580=137.68 kHz & 1717.68-1550=167.68 kHz, 167.68-137.68=30 kHz which of course is the difference between 1580 kHz & 1550 kHz.

This thread can probably be moved.

Very faint music heard on my overnight SDR recording right at the noise floor, carrier measuring 1717.6784 @ 0302 UTC.  This station appeared to be on for several hours but much too weak to discern music genre or much of anything else.  Anyone else catch it?

1709.9978-1709.9970 (carrier slowly drifting downward) with Man and woman speaking, way down in the static.  Not any of the usual TIS stations.

0045z: Old commercial for Sears Roebuck & Company
0053z: Instrumental music, John Fox "Being with you"
0057z: Live time check and Community Radio Network ID mentioning 1710 and an FM frequency
0100z: Phone number and time pips at TOH

6
Very very weak at my noise floor with occasional fade-ups. Time pips heard at 0000z TOH and then "That's All" by Genesis during another fade-up at 0007z.  No sign of Hudson County, NJ - did it finally drop back down to 10w?

Started and ended with Gary Numan with a bunch of good 80s tunes in between.  Up to S9 here at times with occasional rapid fading but overall good.  It was great to catch WDOG on MW, thanks for the show tonight!

This is a weird one.  I can't really explain it but I'm sitting here in Michigan listening to Aruba air traffic control on 38.275 MHz handling flights inbound and outbound to Queen Beatrix International Airport in Aruba.  Best in FM mode but clearly an AM carrier present on the SDR waterfall.  This is being heard on several different radios in the shack (same antenna).  Aruba ATC is listed as 120.9 MHz and this is verified against the traffic that I'm hearing.  Obviously some kind of odd harmonic or mixing product that is propagating.

Antenna used is my 140 FT DKAZ terminated loop, amplified by a Wellbrook FLG100LN.

0315 UTC: Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone"
0320 UTC: Blue Swede "Hooked On A Feeling"
0323 UTC: Off
0325 UTC: Carrier returned briefly with a very weak signal & audio.

MW Loggings / WLOU Harmonic or Spur 1740 FM 0230 UTC 28 DEC 2022
« on: December 28, 2022, 0232 UTC »
I've been hearing this most nights in Michigan.  Seems to be a spur or some kind of harmonic of 1350 WLOU Louisville, KY. (soul music format) that's appearing on 1740 kHz FM.  Anyone else hearing this?
