UNID 6930 then 6940 USB 2345 UTC 25 Dec 2015

Very weak here with music @ 2345, maybe "Carry On Wayward Son" but not sure.
Faded or off @ 2351.
Thanks for the info, BigAl; moved to 6940.
2358 - Heard a bit of "Whip It", mostly below the noise here.

 I have not heard much here on this frequency for the last 5 minutes! Maybe they were testing?

Tuned in at 2339utc, fair/poor, light static, heard punk and heavy metal rock, heard tune "California man" then nothing, I wasn't aware at the time that it went up to 6940, I thought it went down to 6925 but that was another stn, R8 & dipole.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
