KTIL Spur 1710 AM 0200 UTC 21 DEC 2022
« on: December 21, 2022, 0220 UTC »
I have no idea who this might be, but I'm hearing a rock music station on 1710 kHz from Masset, BC (100 km south of Ketchikan, AK) heard on a 110 deg DKAZ antenna feeding a KiwiSDR.  First tuned in just before 02:00 UTC, and much improved at 02:10 UTC.  Talking at 02:12.  Cincinnati Bengals mentioned.  A string of ads at 02:18.  Not sure what to think.  A bit too weak to catch any IDs, I'm afraid.

Probably KHMB from California.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

No, it wasn't KHMB, but a spur from KTIL 1590 in OR!   Thanks to Bruce Portzer from Seattle for answering my question!
