Drifting downward from 1711.6 during initial tune-in about 20 minutes ago.  News broadcast (TV?) audio just above the noise floor, occasionally good peaks.

23:20z: Has drifted down to 1711.0 now with man repeating "test...test...test" and what sounds like microphone taps.
23:23z: Off

SDR recording catch. Sign on was 2243 on 1711.6 kHz, with a lot of drift down as Kilokat7 noted.  Off at 2323.
