I am hearing three different stations here in Maine on 1610 KHz during
the day. One is the Maine turnpike public service station, but another
seems to be a Spanish speaking station out to the West. The 3rd 1610
station is SW and might be a NJ county emergency station. I have heard
it in the past quite well during the day. I also hear a very weak
carrier on 1940 kHz in the middle of the afternoon. I will try to
identify something this evening. I have beverages at 180, 220, 260, 290,
and 330 degrees. The noise at night is loudest at 220 degrees, but is
almost as loud at 260 degr. so I would bet it is around 230 degrees.

There is one listed in Westchester, NY and several in NJ on 1610. I have no
knowledge of them, but they sound like the sort of stations that are only
established at certain times and under particular conditions, which might
explain why it's just appeared. It might also be co-located with a more
permanent AM station providing the inter-mod?
Sorry if this is a red herring!
