Title: UNID 6955 was 6950 AM 2218 UTC 14 MAR 2022
Post by: ~SIGINT~ on March 14, 2022, 2219 UTC
UNID 6950.0 kHz AM 22:18 UTC 14 MAR 2022

22:17 UTC - Station tuning up. Carrier only;
22:18 UTC - Broadcast begins. Loud and clear, 10 kHz wide;
22:28 UTC - Seeing 16 kHz of bandwidth which is a little wide with the fluctuating conditions. From a background noise perspective, 12 kHz is far more quieter.
22:42 UTC - I just checked the KiwiSDR in Weston-super-Mare, South West, UK and the signal is coming through, weak and barely readable but it is reaching out. There is also some interference only heard in Europe on this frequency;
22:45 UTC - Something going on with the power output of the station. There is a clicking noise and the power goes down then up again. It appears to be in lower power now as I have lost a considerable amount of signal and it is now getting very noisy in the fading;
22:48 UTC - Transmitter is cutting in and out.

My money is on Mix Radio International based on the quality of the transmitter and bandwidth.

The audio has a buzz on it between songs. 2254Z Huey Newton and News song.
