UNID 6950 AM 1430 UTC 02/18/2016
« on: February 18, 2016, 1438 UTC »
Strong carrier at 6950 kHz AM found while tuning up from VOG on 6925 kHz.  Doesn't seem to be any modulation on the signal (or if there is any, I can't hear it...) but there's been a carrier signal there for at least the past 8 minutes or so.

1452 - Hearing music on this frequency now.  Sounds like a sultry YL signing.  Signal is a bit noisier now
1632 - Still there!  S7 signal, S9 on peaks.  Nice modulation and carrier seems to be right on 6950.0 kHz.  Sounding great, whoever you are :D

Tuned back in at 1855 UTC.  Signal quality has degraded somewhat.  Still an S7 signal peaking to S8-S9.  The band has gotten more noisy over the past few hours however.  Difficult to hear what's going on through the noise.  I hear what sounds like a YL talking and possibly an OM but I can't tell what is being said or what's happening.  Dropped bandwidth down to 6 kHz (from 8 kHz).  1859 UTC, sounds like a OM singing a tune, then screaming at somebody (???)  Doesn't sound like a YL crying or screaming like other posters have noted.  

1900 UTC - dead air  
1901 UTC - sound fx, sounds sort of like birds chirping, then more "jungle" sound fx.  OM speaking unknown language
1902 UTC - OM speaking, not sure if he's just slurring his words or audio is distorted but it is difficult to understand what he's saying
1904 UTC - More distorted talking, VFO swishing carrier QRM "no! it's too late!" two OMs talking to each other now (possibly)
