Heard this QRMing Radio Illuminati on 6920AM at 1741z. Surprised to see a we-fax on this freq.

It's a published frequency for WEFAX from station VCO in Sydney, Nova Scotia at exactly that time. Schedule is for one image commencing at 1741 UTC on that frequency, with more at other times during the day.

Though I have seen other info that says that these WEFAX broadcasts are only occasional.
