Trace carrier visible in waterfall at 6949.5. Could that be the correct frequency, or is this something else?

Radio Free Mars, 6949.6 AM, 0012, 5/1/17

Carrier, with music at 0012, some talk or a narration at the beginning, but it was too low to tell what was being said, into contemporary dance music, another section of talk at 0020, but not clear enough to make anything out if it was an ID, more dance music, "here comes the sun," same voice as earlier, still unintelligable into more music, 0035 definite ID into more music, including covers of some other music.

Up to S7 at 0039
