S6 signal but low modulation. Hearing some music. Perhaps this is Metro Radio International ?
ID at 0003z.
QRT at 0005z.
Back on at 0006z, but I am not hearing any audio.

Clear ID heard by the male/female announcer team at 0003 UTC (2/18). Not particularly strong here; about S1 or S2 with some infrequent travels up to about S4. Carrier dropped at 0005 UTC but then returned a minute later and is now ongoing with music.

Notably improved signal and audio at 0041 UTC. Peaks to S9 but persistent fading. Announcer team chatting.

Very fady with S5 peaks, but definite music here from time to time.
0056 I am hearing OM/YL exchange, and that's a good sign.

Thanks MRI!

6974.2khz.  Decent carrier, but modulation mostly down in the noise.  Modulation has peaked up at 0105z. Hearing YL and OM announcers chatting, then into 'Play With Me' by The Cure @ 0109z.

Then into another song, unknown to me - lyrics include 'try walking in my shoes'[possibly Depeche Mode]
