Title: UNID 6950 AM 1430 UTC 02/18/2016
Post by: R4002 on February 18, 2016, 1438 UTC
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)
