Caribbean Beacon on 1610 tonight?

Postby Toomas Losin » Fri Feb 08, 2013 12:53 am

Well! I'm hearing English preaching on 1610 right now that is parallel to 6090 kHz, suggesting it's the Caribbean Beacon. The audio is NOT parallel to the CHHA stream online.

This is probably what I heard the other night but conditions are much better and consistent tonight!

I could have sworn the title was Canadian Bacon! :-)

Almost! Sometimes there's a horrible interfering noise that sounds like bacon frying.

My knowledge of Caribbean geography improved today from looking up where Anguilla, the home of the Beacon, is located. However, there seems to be very little info online about the Beacon itself, like where the transmitter site is.

Haven't heard anything on 1610 yet tonight. Besides noise, that is!

Could it be that all this sizzle is just Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?
