Very weak but have checked it on two radio's and two different antennas.
Found while testing a new loop antenna on weak signals.
Mostly talk alternating between a male and female. Maybe a harmonic. Did note some music just before 2200 UTC
Seems to be getting a bit stronger.
Now music and maybe an ID but too week to make out. 2215 UTC

OK ID'd as 3rd harmonic of WWL 870 New Orleans...
Nothing to see here please move along... :)

TNX to Radio Nuts above for the I.D. Tuned in at 23:14 while going back and forth from Outhouse and Black Flag Radio. Hearing this New Orleans AM'er harmonic was a surprise. Mostly talk, Audio not strong or up with carrier. SIO 333 slowly reducing to a 222 by 23:25

The 3rd harmonic of WWL 870 would be 2610 kHz, so it is not that.
The 8th harmonic of WWL 870 would be 6960 kHz, but you are reporting a frequency almost 10 kHz away, so probably not that.
I imagine that you receive a very strong signal from WWL on the fundamental considering your location. Does your loop have an amplifier? Could this be overload? A mixing product?

This is most likely the FOX NEWS CHANNEL relay mixing with a radio spur and harmonic of the station which he mentioned.
