Regarding WEMG-AM's C-Quam broadcast

I had previously owned a 1980's sony portable C-Quam radio (its exact model name slips my mind right now) but the capicators in that radio shot the bed a long time ago. I had just remembered that on KiwiSDR's website, you can now tune in C-Quam mode, so I checked on a few radios within WEMG's broadcast range. It appears that they are still sending a stereo signal, BUT the audio in the right channel is dead.

I can tell it's a true C-Quam signal because if I tuned to literally any other station, you get that phasing when you are in C-Quam but not tuned to a C-Quam station, however; with WEMG, it's full audio on the left, and none on the right.

I assume no one has checked on the wiring of their C-Quam system in decades, so who knows what the state of that even is.

You are absolutely correct.
Right channel is dead.
I tuned in with my Sony SRF-A100.
I am 4 air miles from Xmtr site in Camden.
I don’t know who to contact there to let them know plus I wouldn’t know even if they would understand as I am not fluent in Spanish. They probably monitor FM translator on 105.7.
