Sign on 2300 UTC, off at 0130 UTC. Sweeping audio tones very clearly heard around 2336 UTC, played for some time. You can see this on the waterfall also. Later, just a dead carrier, with a good signal level. No obvious audio.
Is this something that Zeppelin Radio is known to do? Also, the carrier frequency as almost exactly 6950, I see Zeppelin was noted with an offset frequency of 6954.9. Are we sure this was from Europe?

I was hoping that someone across the pond might have some knowledge to confirm there was a European based station on 6950 AM...I did detect what I thought was some undermodulated music on this, but it was only a few very weak and brief fade-ups.
Pigmeat:
Zeke's mushrooms are taking over his station?

Zeppelin is ALWAYS on frequencies that end on .87 kHz, if the offset was anything else it means this was not Zeppelin. I have never heard tones from Zeppelin either, usually non-stop music except very rare talk from the op. This was probably a low power station in North America, or at least a different Europirate.

The carrier was North American based per chat info...sorry for the mistaken Euro identity!
