Chances are it is an image signal beacause RHC is broadcasting then.
The combination of a modestly priced but very sensitive receiver and
big antenna means you are probably getting repeat signals all over the
dial. Because the 350 is an analog receiver with a digital display my
guess is that the receiver is actually tuned to 1700 +- 10.

Try listening to these RHC frequencies to see if the signal is the
same.
6000, 6060, 9550, 11760

It's a nice radio in many respects, but it has limitations that are a
fuction of it's price. More than one review I have read complain about
multiple images, poor dynamic range, etc. Get rid of that long antenna
and use the RF gain to control signal strength.

It's Sunday here in Seattle, 0530 UTC and I'm picking up Radio Havana
Cuba
on a Grundig S350 with a 70' random wire antenna tuned to ~1697 KHz.
(The
signal drifts a tiny bit, between 1696 to 1698.) I've tried to do my
own
research and see if perhaps they broadcast on MW as well as SW, but I
can't
find any indications that they do. They're also frequently mentioning
that
it's a shortwave broadcast...so through what bit of electronic
inadequacies
on the part of Grundig am I hearing this on MW? I understand images
to a
degree, thanks to r.r.s. Is this a related issue? Thanks in advance.

An MFJ-956 between the radio and the antenna may help.
