55444 in Wyomissing.
10,000 Hz bandwidth is a good fit.

Unusable here. SSTV in Scottie 2 was unusable--I have no clue what the image is.

6934.92. Just a nubbin on the waterfall about 10 dB above the background noise. Not a hint of audio.

From a recording.
As Chris, a carrier appeared at 0842 and was gone for good at 0923. The signal that I saw was not as good as Chris'; I never heard "Cold as Ice."
It was disappointing because the initial signal was 50 db above the background noise, but quickly deteriorated to only 15 or 20 dB above. 15 or 20 dB above the noise doesn't work for AM here.

From a recording. It never got above "faint carrier and faint, but unusable, audio" in Wyomissing. Tuned in at 0229 and the carrier was gone at 0328. About 16 dB above the background noise.

unidentified 6960 AM 1840 UTC 19 June 2023 Carrier present. Then music at 1844 and an OM at 1045 with a few words that were unintelligible because of a weak signal. And the carrier was gone at 1845.
About 28 dB above the background noise.

From a recording. The BC started at 0044 on 15 June 2023 with Jazz piano music. There was an ID by an OM at 0047 and the date was given as June 14, 2023. Then the reading began. "The Cost of 
??" with a monumental crash of lightening coincided with the fourth word. From context, likely the word is "grace."
35343 here.

Looking at a recording's waterfall, the signal first appeared at 2358 on 11 June 2023. No audio and it was on and off after that.

« on: June 07, 2023, 0009 UTC »
A small carrier appeared at 0747 and disappeared at 1019. In between the signal was unusable. Many times, only a carrier was visible on the waterfall, but nothing was heard. Rock music. I think that there was an ID at 0840 by a YL.
The carrier was about 15 dB above the background noise, which was normal here. 15 dB will work for sideband, but I really need 30 dB over for AM.

Found the BC at 2032. 35342 in Wyomissing. OM said a few words about pops and crackles at 2049, then back to more minor chord rock.

From a recording.
The carrier appeared at 0404, about 15 db above the background noise. There were excursions to about 20 dB over. I heard no audio until 0437 when there was some instrumental music (an oboe?). The carrier was gone at 0439.
The Elad suggested that the frequency was 6924.95.
In my corner of suburbia, with my ears, 15 dB over the noise in AM doesn't work. I need at least 25, but prefer 30.

(From a recording) My SSTV image is a bit better than MDK2's. The words to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic that the male choir was singing were mostly unusable here. Noise, a weak signal, and a certain lack of clarity in the collective voice of the mail choir were the culprits.
