UNID pirate station
6937 kHz 6.937 MHz

I like the frequency choice, (very nearly) halfway between 6925 kHz and 6950 kHz (which would technically be 6937.5 kHz).  Audio seemed to be stronger on the LSB than the USB but they were transmitting in AM with a strong carrier on 6937.0 kHz.

1532 UTC - tuned in after Amphetamine Radio signed off 6925 kHz
1533 UTC - instrumental music...vaguely familiar but I can't remember where I know it from, S5 signal with some noise
1534 UTC - off suddenly
