Found yet another new spanish pirate, guess where?

In New Britain of course, where else would it be? I don't think it's religious, but, it seems to have the same range as the original transmitter as religious pirate 90.9 FM "Restoration Radio" (I get a feeling for some reason they are using a different one now), it has the same range and sound, and it explains the other FM antenna on the building next door to 90.9. Signal also seems to be coming from the same area.
The new station is using 92.9 and after waiting for a very long time, I finally heard an ID from one of the same announcers (using the same background music bed) as on 90.9, I could make out the mention of the frequency but didn't catch much else. I wonder if this one is going to make the same claim as 90.9 about being part 15 as well.
 
They really don't seem to go far beyond the city line of New Britain, and line of sight towards Southington from downtown (think the area of Newbrite Plaza) is blocked by all those hills in the southwest section of NB.

Yeah I know exactly where New Brite Plaza is. I used to go to the AJ Wright there until I discovered the one in Waterbury is actually closer to where I live (the West End/Downtown area of Bristol).
 
Another New Britain Spanish pirate is on 107.5 in stereo. No sign of the 90.9 and 90.1 pirates lately. The new pirate is just one channel away from Central Connecticut State University station WFCS 107.7. They should was a stink to have a pirate so close to them in both physical location as well as frequency.
 
I'm getting it in the south end here, with a weak stereo signal. It doesn't seem to be interfering with WFCS at all. ::)

As for these garbage pirates, this isn't the first time I've dealt with it. Within the last two years, there was somebody a block away from me, whose building I see every day out my window. They were a Spanish "religious" station using 87.9 FM, causing undue problems with WESU-FM 88.1 of Middletown. I e-mailed comments to WESU and filed a complaint with the FCC. It must've worked, because the transmitter atop the building is long gone. ;D
 
Yep, I heard thie new on on 107.5 last night, they were silent, but pretty strong. This morning, more spanish and the announcer was the same one as on 90.9 and 92.9, and I also heard 90.9 as well, they weren't as strong as they could be, I think whatever they are doing it's all from the same location and each transmitter is tunable, so this could be why they are bouncing around like this.
 
Last night I brought my insignia hd radio to the Hartford Wolfpack game to listen to the in house feed on 95.3. Inside the XL Center I was able to pick up the two pirates. 102.5 sounded like gospel and 103.3 the Jamaican pirate.
