TIS Station On 1710kc
« on: January 05, 2023, 1756 UTC »
I have been hearing a TIS stn, WQFG689, over the last few mornings, on 1710kc AM with a good signal into NC, SE of Raleigh. The stn is run by Hudson County NJ and according to the FCC info, runs 10w output. Times have been from 1000Z until around 1200Z. QSB noted with strong peaks & down into the noise. Msg, in general, was that they were having technical difficulties.

They've been running 100 watts since the beginning of the Covid Pandemic in 2020. They've been looping that "technical difficulties" message for months.
