The key clicking noise, that's some sort of wideband modulation in the band.  I QSYed to avoid it, but its pretty broad.  I dropped the carrier just to make sure it wasn't my bullshit splattering about.  That's never happened before! ;)

Very wide signal. Listening with a webSDR and laptop. My heavy receiver doesn't get that frequency. Audio playing through my amplifier and subwoofer. Picking up all the low frequencies as well as the highs. It's neat that they can print text on the waterfall.

Centered on 6927.10 AM per webSDR waterfall.
Thank you for listening and your report!  The waterfall painting stuff is neat yet simple.  Translate pixels to BEEPS! It's not much different than what a fax machine does! :)

Very strong into Masset, BC at 0343 tune-in on measured 6927.097 AM mode.  Playing Blue Hour by Christian Death.
After leaving the air for a little while, they just returned at 0422 with a very distorted announcement  (I could make out "transmitter smoking").  Then into music again, and it's strong and clear.
04:24  playing  Geburt Einer Nation by Laibach
Transmitter off again at 0438
Back at 0453 at excellent level now.  Transmitter smoking, etc....
