SDR recording catch, started on 6885 with a vert strong signal for a few minutes, then the band closed and it dropped to a weak signal. Then QSY to 6851 at 0213.

Presumably MRI.

I caught both frequencies

First 6885 khz USB - 13 minutes
20260416_0159_UT_6885_khz_USB_North_America_Unid.mp4

Then 6851 khz USD - 1hr 43 minutes
20260416_0213_UT_6851_khz_USB_North_America_Unid.mp4

Was a pretty good variety of music
