Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 222

Weak signal, but could hear an Op's voice talking barely above the static - there was also a het from somebody that was on ~6925.7 AM as well.  From looking at my overnight recording the AM station was on from around 04:04z to 10:30z this morning.

Thanks :)

Recorder Catches on 6925.050 USB

Also heard both here.  The AM was dominant, and had a good signal of S6 typical, with some long term peaks to S9, and seemed to be on between 0404 and 1017 UTC.  There was a nasty het of approximately 800 Hz, which leads me to believe that the AM was probably near 6925.8 kHz.  I depressed the audio het in a few places where reception peaked, but the audio was still way off due to my tuning.  I heard clear OM ment "radio" and poss "gmail" near 0930, but that's about it for the entire file.  Really a shame, as this would have probably been good copy if I were tuned differently.

Not as strong as the AM, there was also some OM talk over the AM at 0548 as Sealord noted.  As heard here, this sounded like a QSO in  Spanish.
