Strong carrier at 6950 kHz AM found while tuning up from VOG on 6925 kHz. Doesn't seem to be any modulation on the signal (or if there is any, I can't hear it...) but there's been a carrier signal there for at least the past 8 minutes or so.
1452 - Hearing music on this frequency now. Sounds like a sultry YL signing. Signal is a bit noisier now
1632 - Still there! S7 signal, S9 on peaks. Nice modulation and carrier seems to be right on 6950.0 kHz. Sounding great, whoever you are :D

Tuned back in at 1855 UTC. Signal quality has degraded somewhat. Still an S7 signal peaking to S8-S9. The band has gotten more noisy over the past few hours however. Difficult to hear what's going on through the noise. I hear what sounds like a YL talking and possibly an OM but I can't tell what is being said or what's happening. Dropped bandwidth down to 6 kHz (from 8 kHz). 1859 UTC, sounds like a OM singing a tune, then screaming at somebody (???) Doesn't sound like a YL crying or screaming like other posters have noted.
1900 UTC - dead air
1901 UTC - sound fx, sounds sort of like birds chirping, then more "jungle" sound fx. OM speaking unknown language
1902 UTC - OM speaking, not sure if he's just slurring his words or audio is distorted but it is difficult to understand what he's saying
1904 UTC - More distorted talking, VFO swishing carrier QRM "no! it's too late!" two OMs talking to each other now (possibly)
-
Still on at 19:32 now playing old school Judas Priest "Rocka Rolla"
Audio is on/off
-
Still on at 2041z with instrumental music. Pretty good signal.
-

Chucks

Sign Off with what I think was 9inch nails(?) and a morse ID of "HFUNDERGROUND. YOM" not 100% positive on the YOM :)
