I'm registering the center of the carrier at 6947.5 kHz. Unbelievably strong signal (peaks above S9+30) with slight fading (down to a little over S9+10). Am looking around the neighborhood now for large antennas ;)

EDIT: My mistake - signal peaked at over S9+40 - didn't realize I had the RF gain turned down lol. Abruptly off-air mid-song at 2159z.
