At 2338utc I hear a weak carrier, with moderately rapid fading, in ssb mode and barely hear audio at times. Does anybody else hear this or is it intermod? I'm within 15 miles of several Chicago mediumwave station transmitters all 50kw, collocated 670 and 780 using same tower, and 720khz.

Tuned in at 2309utc, strong enough to be heard over Spanish from RHC with receiver in am mode, rock music, BTW, RHC apparently keyed in 6950 in error when they should have keyed in 9650. At 2322 sirens blaring, at 2323 SSTV/FAX then sirens again at 2324 then off.

Tuned in at 2230utc, good signal with fading, talking en Espaņol pero no tengo fluencia en Espaņol, lo siento, is this a Cuban station that accidentally dialed up a frequency in our pirate band? (edit) I emailed Glenn Hauser about this. Something is always wrong at RHC.
