Been thinking about this post and what I heard. The screenshot is the WJST decoder. The 7074 frequency is an FT8 frequency and I selected it as it was the closest to 6925. It could be an image but I heard it on my NRD-545 first then checked my R75 and AIRSPY Discovery. Hearing it on all three I decided to post. They do share the same antenna so that could be a problem.

I did tune up to 6930 as I thought the signal moved up there. The squiggly line is I think Indy Radio on 6931. Maybe someone played a recording of FT8 transmissions or a problem with my system. I'm not sure what it was.
