SDR recording catch, on from 0012-0052 UTC, generally with a good signal, playing EDM.

Nice to see some above the AM band activity again!

 Hey Chris,

Nice to see 1720 Kc active  again.

But again, although it has the  BIG advantage of being a "clear" channel, casual listeners (probably) may not have a rig that covers 1720 "effectively" (or at all).

This could eliminate a LOT of potential  listeners.

I'm not sure how many "regular public" (not radio hobbyists) listen to MW pirates. And unfortunately, the 1710 Hudson County TIS Of Doom eliminates a lot of the potential radio hobbyist listeners who would tune in. 1710 kHz IMHO is effectively useless for MW pirate activity in much of the Northeast / Mid Atlantic due to them.
