Hearing a station on 6925AM, playing music.
"Dirty White Boy", "Only Time Will Tell".
0135, Def Leppard song
Switched antennas and signal came up some @ 0139 with "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol.
May have been ID @ 0142, but garbled.  ???105.
Then into ELO song @ 0143.
ID again @ 0146 with the '105' but I can't make out the rest.  Will have to listen to the recording later.
"Love My Way" @ 0147
0150, station playing music on 6925 LSB, probably not the same station - carrier no longer there.
The LSB station appears to be a pesky having some fun.
The AM station may have been Liquid Radio.

Very weak carrier noted at 0124 UTC, then some weak music heard at 0125 UTC. Possibly an OM at 0031 UTC, but not sure
Signal is fading in and out of the noise floor here and tough copy with static
Frequency I'm hearing this on is 6925 and the signal is AM
0139 UTC Very clearly hearing "Rebel Yell"-Billy Idol
0141 UTC Some co-channel QRM...sounded like another station but gone after less than a minute
0143 UTC Sounded like an OM with ID, into "Do Ya"-Electric Light Orchestra
(There are 2 stations on the same frequency at 0145 UTC!)
A real mess for a couple of minutes there, but at 0151 UTC "Hello It's Me"-Todd Rundgren is winning out :)
0154 UTC OFF or faded into the noise?
Hmmm... ???
I think there was a station on 6925 AM AND a peskie playing music on 6925 LSB

Sign on at 0123z.
This was definitely an AM station here, with a carrier frequency of 6925.1. Very weak overall, but the signal came up at 0141 to reveal the Billy Idol and ELO songs. Then back down into the noise.
Between those songs there was an ID, "... 105". So presumably this is a relay of an FM station.

There was also the pesky on LSB. No trace of a USB station here, so if there was one, it wasn't making it to my QTH.
