Music heard faintly here, interference from a strong digital transmission is messing things up.

Dance tracks now with S6 signal, good audio but strong UTE a few kHz below your carrier.

Got it here also but barely on 6955. Signal hanging around a S5-6 at best with music coming thru. Came up at 0318/19 with ID heard and back to music with Axel F. Noise level here is lower than usual but the propagation gods are not being nice. :-\

First noted at 0139z on the SDR recording with a weak signal, which slightly improved over time.

0200 on 6.950 with decent signal then moved to 6.955 & good signal. Less "noise" on band than usual. Which, to me, is unusual.
