6925 6940 and 6945 trashed tonight

FYI for ops:

The pescadores are strong on 6925
6940 has an RTTY station
6945 has some UTE on it, although not as strong as the RTTY on 6940

Also some signals on 6960 and 6970

I agree Chris. There seems to be a real uptick to the number of transmissions and freqencies these guys are using recently. I have never heard them in the 6980-6985 range. I don't have my frequency allocation papers in front of me.... so that frequency range and any assigned stations are unknown to me.

That's normally a region where the Mexican military hangs out.

I thought I heard CRI faintly on 6950 the other day. They're a sure sign of the start of equinoctial propagation here. That would be my guess on why the other odd signals are starting to show up.
