Very good signals at 1630z tune in time.  Two OMs chatting away in French, can hear background noise on one of the signals.  Heard several mentions of Marseille. 

The 6765 - 7000 kHz band is very busy in/around Europe, lots of fishing fleet comms outside the legal marine bands.  Bigger picture, there are a lot of freebanders on/around the "Echo Charlie" 6.6 MHz ballpark, 6633 kHz LSB, 6643 kHz LSB, 6650 kHz LSB and several others - including French language comms on 6678 kHz USB are active just as I type this and tune through the bands via the UK based SDR receiver.
U.S. East Coast, various HF/VHF/UHF radios/transceivers/scanners/receivers - land mobile system operator - focus on VHF/UHF and 11m
