YL giving marine weather forecast 6507 kHz USB, good signal on the Sigma SDR - CT/MA border. Presumed VMC based on frequency and YL voice heard

That's an unusual time to be copying VMC at that frequency, given that it's later in the morning there. I don't see it on the eibi schedule but I know that VFF Iqaluit Radio uses that frequency as well. Did you copy the ID?
-
No ID copied - presumed ID based on frequency (wasn't aware that VFF used it as well) - very well could have been VFF. YL giving marine weather forecast in English (should have stuck around longer to get more specifics about where she was talking about)
-
I'm almost positive it was VFF. I was just now copying two stations on 6507 USB as of 1335 UTC, one with a YL voice which just signed off and one with an OM voice that's normal for both VMC and VMW Wiluna. Also, I saw a report from a listener in Canada that he heard VFF around the same time as your report.
VFF is a hard catch. I'm not sure what their power level is usually, but it must be low most of the time. I didn't hear any ID myself.
EDIT:
Here's that other listener's copy. He said he heard it at 2245 UTC.
