A solid S9 signal, peaking to S9+10db or so.  Looks to be around 6924.80 kHz or maybe a tiny bit higher - 6924.85 kHz.  Either way it is causing serious QRM to Liquid Radio on 6925.2 kHz AM.  Nice wide audio signal on the K2SDR WebSDR waterfall display here at 0024 UTC 02/22/2016.

Carrier dropped off completely for about 1.5-2 seconds around 0033 UTC and then came right back.  Now hearing "Let The Sun Shine" at 0035 UTC.  Strong signal, but noisy conditions and QRM from Liquid Radio on 6925.2 kHz -ish (probably closer to 6925.3 kHz).  Liquid Radio's carrier is still definitely there.  Update:  At 0037 UTC, 6924.8 kHz AM's audio disappeared (carrier is still there) but now I'm just hearing Liquid Radio's unmistakable trance 4/4 thumping beat!  

0045 UTC - Elton John - Rocket Man (with some QRM)

Weak in New Hampshire, tough copy at S4 - listening in LSB to reduce Liquid Radio a bit

0028z Beatles - Baby You Can Drive My Car
0030z Beatles - Do You Want to Know a Secret? (I think)

Liquid Radio wiped out most of it here until sign off, then heard Elton John followed up with Radio Free Mars ID at 0051  and more Elton John and again  ID at 0101. Signal was a S6 peaking to 7. First time catch of Radio Free Mars! ;D
