more to follow

0244z / 9:44 PM CDT some music, but, without zero beating it's tough to copy

Freq looks to be 6923.09 kHz

I've got something there, but it's hard to make out.
Might be DSB, because I hear something on the other side around 6.924L.  AM tunes to something, but not making it through the noise well using AM mode.

Can detect nothing on LSB on the 756ProII with 6923.22 on the dial ...

Just checked the LSB side again and got nothing.  Maybe switched modes?  Or I was hearing things.  Couldn't pull out anything intelligible before anyway.

02:52 - got speech of some sort, but it still isn't making it through well. 
02:53 - back to music - harmonica - bluegrass type?

SIO only around 333 or worse here - getting clobbered by the noise.

I need a receiver that tunes in 1 Hz steps ... this guy is down to 6923.17 kHz now ... that's the biggest problem, is freq shift or drift ... voice comes through at a couple hundred Hz off, but music sounds like ... noise that far off!

Freq = 6923.17 kHz ATTM

0311z / 10:11 PM CDT still 6923.29 kHz

Signal is just under S2 (no preamp) and I have static crashes at a regular interval to S3 and sometimes S5

03:12 - got voice after the music: laughing, able to make out the words "funny" and "frequency" before apparently shifting frequency

Tuned up to 6.925 to find an "Outhouse Radio" ID.  Same signal?

Different I think ... I started a new topic ... different theme music shall we say, maybe 'mechanical' in nature compared to Bluegrass ...
