Hi list

I became aware of a Jewish station transmitting somewhere from
Brooklyn NY recently. Tonight around 0230z, I used my DX-398 and my
RadioShack loop and tuned to 1710 sure enough, when nulling out all
the electrical buzzes I heard some music possibly in Hebrew, music
sounded as if it had something to do with that. After that at 0235z,
some guy talking for like 20 minutes or more. Sounds indeed like
Hebrew to me.

Anyone have any info?

Hm,m,m - here we have an "endless loop" on a 1/10th watt station with tourist
info on it at 1710. The sig is, normally, good for about two miles (on car
radio).

How far are you from Brooklyn?

Also, it might be kinda nifty to, periodically, check very-lo MW and very
high-mw (but not for me sigh, I'm almost on top of the local one - about
four blocks).

I am located in Northeast PA. It definately isn't a travel info
station. I don't think they play Jewish ethnic music :D

I posted a 3 minute mp3 of this station (I assume it's only ever one
station) recorded last night, a little before midnight EDT.

The clip is in alt.binaries.sounds.radio.misc That was the most
appropriate group I could find. You can compare what you've heard to
it. I'm pretty sure the language is Hebrew. It would be nice if
someone hear who knows Hebrew can confirm that. Lemme know if this
sounds like what you're getting in PA.

BTW, the sound quality is pretty poor. I gotta get a better recorder.
