Title: FAV22 / M51 6925 CW 2250 UTC 20 APR 2021
Post by: ~SIGINT~ on April 20, 2021, 2254 UTC: 22:52 UTC - UNID CW station on 6925.0 kHz. Unfortunately, the speed is too fast for me to copy.
01:00 UTC - The station is still transmitting but has now almost faded out due to changes in propagation. Switched antenna to the Wellbrook loop and managed to hang on to the signal just a little while longer.
01:13 UTC - The station has now completely faded out.

A look-up of the frequency identifies this station as FAV22 / M51, Mont Valerien, France and the user DGSE - Direction Generale de la Securite Exterieure.

Current conditions of the magnetic field:
SSN: 54; Kp: 3
Polar (POL): Unsettled
Auroral (AUR): Unsettled
Sub-Auroral (SUB): Quiet
