To add what was said above, I'm copying them at first average, but the signal has come up 0302z, modulation increase. too. At 0300z the signal moved down to 6955, then moved up to 6957 and finally back to 6960.

0304z - "Making noise on the 43 meter band this is WDOG"

Good Rx in SE Mich a little over S9, Received the same two pictures reported above. Audio quality rather bassy.

Sent Fax about 0117z, by the time I tuned it in and got a decode, it was a schematic diagram. Another Fax about 0122z "Sycko Fax" I think this is the first fax I ever received that wasn't weather! The Fax was about 1200 Hz low in frequency.

0215Z - Hearing Ball Smacker Radio in AM on 6960.0 from Michigan but QRM in USB also on 6960.0, some kind of noises and echoing tones. Switching to LSB on receiver eliminates the QRM.

I have seen this BB before but this is first time I've posted.

Listening to "Mix Radio International" on 6860 kHz since 01z. I have good signal here in Michigan but looking thru the KiwiSDR's, I tried a receiver in Pittsburgh 55555 Solid S9 signal. MRI is running full 10 kHz USB bandwidth, plus almost 1 kHz of LSB. The Pittsburgh SDR allows up to 20 kHz bandwidth, have it set for -500 Hz to +9000 Hz. Audio quality is "stellar" Good lows and highs, no fading or phasing, no noise... like listening to FM!
