Recorder Catch on 6850 AM

1021 A discussion between a YL moderator and OM in EE popped up above the noise for a few minutes here.  I could not tell what the topic was.

1030 Last audio heard.

I believe I caught the last 9 minutes of this show during a signal peak as confirmed by the Signal Strength History, which also showed that this was on approximately 20 minutes prior to this (although I had no audio to speak of).

Was this from the Nibi-Nibi TX site?

Thanks!

I had a super-weak carrier here during this time period, mostly 1023-1029. No recoverable audio.

The carrier frequency was 6850.247 kHz.
