Thanks for letting us know. i saw it several different different times and resolutions. In my locatation about equal in strength to you. Several times there was wideband data or noise about 1 kHz wide just above your waterfall that I assume was the other transmission too.

The Big Dog aka MRI was on which draws all the attention between 6800-7000

I tuned in about 0230 and usual big signal 55555 across the board, not even any fading tonight. Audio was about 10 kHz wide from 6870-6880 kHz and just above was a nearly constant waterfall ID rolling. Tonight a special "icon" was added for a few minutes about 03:11. It appears to be a penis and scrotum. MRI / Radio 48 Signed off at 0506z

Broadband Digital Sig 6950-6962 KHz interfering heavily.
Just able to hear the music using USB helps eliminate some of the interference

0200Z - WENO Shortwave Radio ID

Best described as "trippy" mixture of tones, voices and effects. I've heard the term Modern Classical in the past to describe this type of music.
Certainly works for Halloween

Signal peaking S9+10 - steady level, good prop into SE Mich.

0215 - Steady list of phonetic alphabet letters mixed into the sounds, so far my magic decoder ring hasn't come up with a message.

0225Z - Completed broadcast with WENO waterfall ID and then a jack-o-lantern outline icon on waterfall display.
