Drifty carrier around 6929.82 kHz. S9 with the W3HFU KiwiSDR.

2230 UTC-Suite bergamasque, L. 75: No. 3, Clair de lune by Alice Sara Ott
2235 UTC-Recomposed By Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons: Spring 1 (2012) by Max Richter, Daniel Hope, Konzerthaus Kammerorchester Berlin & Andre de Ridder
2237 UTC-Unknown Classical Music
2241 UTC-OFF

The transmitter seems to be the one used by the Eak Spider station, although the FMing has been reduced (but not eliminated).

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

2236  35343 in Wyomissing.  Yup, wanders a bit.  6000 Hz bandwidth seems almost too wide.

Something like this was on 6930 two nights ago. Visible carrier, wide sidebands, and little to no audio. I figured someone forgot to switch their transmitter off, or a military agency was using it as a marker frequency?
