I have solved the mystery station on 1700kHz. After reading Paul Walker's
response, it became apparent that no such physical presence of the Antenna
tower(s) exists. Just the record at the FCC database. (Re: today's WOR 8-047
at bottom). Admittedly, my limited knowledge was based on 'common sense' and
I
thought such listings of pattern and location were availible after the tower
was constructed: not before.
Turns out that I was again listening to 1700kHz in the 0200-0300 EDT
(0600-0700 UT) time frame on 4/14/08, and a similar family of music appeared
as
propagation varied. This time, I was able to catch a clear call of, "This is
WJCC AM." at 0240 EDT (0640UT). Knowing this, I'm not surprised at all. I
have
read reports of WJCC being received in No. Europe at this time frame
(Grey-line UT). A tip of the cap to the Engineer who set up the Hialeah
antenna. Nice
signal throw and direction. Now, this might not seem like much for a Grundig
G5 barefoot, but the actual ID was made on a 1 transistor simple home-brew
set. It
popped up nicely between 0238 and 0245 EDT (0638 to 0645 UT), and again 0651
to 0658 UT. SINPO 1-4/3/1-4/3 (when audible), with WEUP faint and flutter
under. The G5 comfirmed receptions after 0300 EDT (0700UT) and is noted with
same SINPO, as no synchro-tune availible. Paul Shaffer Cheshire, CT 1T & G5
