While many AM radios can be tuned to 1710 kHz, it is outside the AM broadcast band and is unavailable for licensed radio operation because it may interfere with aeronautical radio navigation on 1708 kHz.[1]
Travelers' information station WQFG689 is the only station licensed on 1710 in the US; it is licensed to the government of Hudson County, New Jersey. [1]
In Canada, CHIM-FM says that it operates at 1710 kHz in Timmins, Ontario.[2] There may be other radio stations that use this frequency for tourist information, traffic, LPAM, unlicensed pirate radio stations, or temporarily for special events. In 2010, an unlicensed radio station in Portland, Oregon, reportedly used this frequency.[3]
