Also hearing them on 6975 weakly!
6945 much better S-7/9 Heavy Metal, but not in // with 6975

6945 is doing well into GA tonight, despite noise. S9 to a little over S9. 6975 is a carrier only here. 0008z

Strong carrier and fair modulation and audio.  Playing Metallica song @ 0008z
Fair carrier and weak audio on 6945, not the same programming on the 2 freq's, but heard RFW ID's on both frequencies.
Some moderate static crashes here this evening.  6975 may be building in strength a little.

SDR recording catch.

2352 sign on for 6975, S9 carrier, music started a minute or so later. Audio somewhat low, some static.

Carriers noted on and off on 6945 as early as 2345z. Russian/Soviet anthem started at 0000z on 6945.
