Receiving an english broadcast on 3.530. AM. Top hits, female announcer.
Been listening for 30 minutes, still no ID. Time:11:32 uct. I looked through
lots of databases could not find anything. The signal is pretty good, with
slow fading. RST S7 to 9 with no pre-amplification.

Can anyone identify this station?
Thanks


There shouldn't be any broadcasts on that frequency. Some countries do
violate that but none of them are English-speaking.

If you've been listening for 30 minutes and it's now 1132UTC then you
probably just missed the ID.

My bet is that you're hearing an AM broadcast station. Either a
harmonic, a spurious emission, or a spurious response of your receiver.
Check the AM broadcast band on another receiver and see if you can
find the same program. (you might not find it if it's a harmonic at the
station - interference may be burying the fundamental)

The format sounds kinda like Radio Disney. If I can judge from your
KB1KIL callsign that you're in New England... there are three Disney
stations in that region. 550 in Providence, 1260 in Boston, 1550 in
Hartford. However, none of them (nor any other Disney station) have a
harmonic on 3530. Of course it could be some other kind of spurious
signal.
