Your Myanmar assumptions are most likely correct and collaborated by the 17:05z VOA "International Edition" broadcast on 17895.0 kHz, leading with the Myanmar coup. It was mentioned that officials had stated that TV broadcasts had ceased "due to technical issues".

I can just barely see the carrier above the noise floor on the SDR's spectrum display. The station is far too weak to demodulate and hear anything intelligible. Listening from Toronto, Ontario Canada, 00:34z.

Similar effect here in Toronto if I listen using the Barker & Williamson antenna. If I switch to the loop or end-fed antenna then all I receive is CINA. CINA is located +/- 8 miles from my location. It's all about the antenna / ground waves.  https://radio-locator.com/info/CINA-AM

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Re: Carrier Sleuth 2.0 Released

Paul, give it a shot anyway. I use Windows 7 as well. The application appears to runs, I.E. no error messages. I followed the instructions in the PDF and tried to analyze an I/Q file from SDRuno but with negative result. After I clicked "process" it returned to the main screen with no waterfall display.  I also could not find the "progress indicators" mentioned in the document or it is perhaps that I used an incompatible I/Q file to test with. --- Richard

I'm not going to lie, I used Google but I just tried searching for 6855 from the home page a got 4 pages of additional results. A couple of interesting ones, several being Cuban Spy Number stations and this one about CANFORCE and Halifax https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,36044.msg134758.html#msg134758

This other post looks very similar to the one you reported https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,37937.msg141704.html#msg141704

I'm going to have to keep an ear on this frequency.

Have a look at the following post:

After hearing your 2 recordings my first thought was that this was Canadian as well based on dialect.

Nothing heard from my location in Toronto, Ontario Canada but I just tuned in a Kiwi WebSDR in Ottawa with a 160 meter Beverage antenna and there it is, 252 kHz. I verified it with the Twente WebSDR and it is the same programming.
