You might want to relocate your frequency away from 6900 AM too much interference. I'm barely hearing anything through the QRM. Better reception with switch to 6921 AM.

RFW relay carrier frequency is 6899.323.
Just ceased transmission as of 0011 UTC and QSY to 6921.1xx KHz, drifting down in frequency a handful of Hertz* every few minutes.

Old Mel Blank radio show, with skits about radio and related topics at 0017 UTC.
0024 - skit talking about trying to troubleshoot a broken radio, sort of, brought to you by Colgate Tooth Powder.
0030 - Two fake Eastern European voices come on to announce email address, Comrade Steven (?) and, presumably DJ Dickweed.
0035 - For what it is worth, the SDR that I am using (with 5 GPS satellites locked) has it at 6921.084 KHz.
0038 - Audio break but carrier stays on for a bit but then carrier off at 0039 UTC.
0040 - I'm not seeing any USB or AM on 43 or 73 meters at the moment.

* "a handful of Hertz" (TM) is my own trademarked scientific terminology. Because we all know how many Hertz can fit in a hand, don't we?  :D

Detecting the carrier somewhere above 6921 but not far (using the IC-7100 so no waterfall, just ear). No copy otherwise. But strong signal on K3FEF web SDR in eastern PA. Visually it looks like the carrier is around 6921.15.
0031 DJDW talking about stalkers with Assistant Stavin.
0033 DJDW announcing "back to Mel Blanc."
0034 Mel Blanc radio program from who knows when back on.
         EDIT Who knows when? According to Wikipedia, he had his own radio show 1946-47.
0038 program seems to have stopped but carrier is still present.
0039 carrier is gone

Getting noticed by those guys isn't a good thing. They used to be just above 6975, too. Stations that have been broadcasting up there might want to keep an ear open before they go on.

The MARS ops are still around 6975 kHz in USB. I have heard this same pirate accidentally QRM them there too. He has a very unfortunate collection of crystals.
