UNID 1710 kHz AM 6 April 2014 0330 UTC

Heard music & an OM talking. Too weak to identify.

Saw several carriers,
1710+00 Hz
+7 Hz
+16 Hz
+29 Hz

And on occasion -23 Hz.

The audio faded in & out with the carrier at +16 Hz.

Maybe a pirate attempting to beat the TIS stations...

skeezix: your +29 offset should be Radio Celestial.  I'm hearing them right now at 0050z with black gospel spoken music / preaching.  The Springfield, MA. TIS is also mixing in along with hints of the Hudson County TIS.  1710 has turned into a real mess.

I've pretty much given up on checking 1710 for pirates. 1720 is clear. I understand the desire to use 1710 since there's the chance non pirate listeners will tune in and catch something on their car radio, but does that really happen that often?
