Other station(s) QRT or faded away. Station discussing radio jamming is now all I'm hearing on 6925

I'm hearing what sounds like three or four different stations on 6925 right now (with the one discussing Radio Free Europe the clear winner)

I'm hearing all sorts of echo and sound effects on 6925 AM. No actual voice?
Seems like there's several stations at once. At 1622 UTC, discussion of Soviet jamming technology, jamming against Radio Free Europe. Discussion of using music over noise for jamming. There's other voice traffic underneath this signal though.

10/11 meters / 27430 FM [141.3 Hz CTCSS/PL tone] 01/17/2016
« on: January 17, 2016, 1951 UTC »
The band is open a bit right now, not as much as it has been - however I have heard a CW ID on this frequency several times today (and on the previous couple days) in FM mode. IDs are transmitted with a PL tone (141.3 Hz). Maybe somebody is running a (legal) repeater on this frequency and I'm hearing the ID. Most of the time when I hear a repeater ID it does it without whichever tone the system is using (so as not to annoy the users with a CWID).
Usually I hear SSB traffic on this frequency and those around it so hearing FM here is a first for me. Most FM I hear is UK "27/81" FM 27601.25-27991.25 and without PL tones. 27430 is a legal business frequency (as are 27450, 27470 and 27490) as per FCC rules Part 90.
Another CWID heard at 2004 UTC

I just heard a KE2xxx (ham callsign) as part of the audio on 6925. Somebody is retransmitting all kinds of stuff.
More police scanner audio at 1926 UTC

Carrier come on right after Amphetamine Radio signed off. 6925.39 kHz or so. Hearing OM talking down in the noise.

S7 signal, OM talking about making a new will. Noisy condx here but signal is readable. This does remind me a lot of OTR. I tuned down to 6770 kHz AM and they're playing a different radio drama (so at least we know they're not using the same stream at the same time!)

Booker T and The MG's at tune in (1805 UTC). Nice signal on 6935 kHz AM. Sounds best in AM narrow. Some fading/QSB. Heavy fading as I type this, now down at the noise floor. Either the condx changed really quick or the station is adjusting power levels. Back up to previous levels at 1806.

1742 UTC: Heard tones (selcall of some sort?) or DTMF touch tone on 6925 USB. The AM signal on 6925 is gone now as well (at least at on my local RX setup and on the K2SDR WebSDR).
1749 UTC: I stand corrected. There's something on the SDR waterfall on 6925 AM still. Hard to tell if its music or the two-way comms on 6925 as the band seems to be getting noisier.
1751 UTC: An AM signal pops out of the noise on the waterfall. Still fading up and down but I can hear music down in the noise in AM mode.
1754 UTC: Fading is getting worse. Signal disappears, comes back up nice and loud for a second and then its gone again. Band is noisy, noise level is around S5.
1755 UTC: More business comms heard on 6925 USB.
1800 UTC: Data bursts and other sounds on USB. Then more voice traffic. Still a very faint carrier on 6925.0 kHz.
1812 UTC: AM carrier comes back out of nowhere! More swelling dramatic music for a few moments then back to just a carrier. Very rapid fading/QSB. Signal was nice and strong for a bit and then dropped back down to just above the noise level. Weak two-way voice traffic back on 6925 USB, fading in and out with the AM signal.
Tuned back in at 2000 UTC. AM carrier still there on the WebSDR waterfall. Nothing heard on the local RX setup.

Barely have a signal at 1725 UTC. There's some voice comms on 6925 USB (in English!!!)
1733 UTC - signal jumped up considerably. Now S7 or so. Classical music heard with some rapid fades. Sounds good on the peaks. Some minor QRM from two-way traffic on 6925 kHz USB. Sounds like business comms (I think).
