UNID 6960 AM/USB 0155 UTC 26 April 2017
« on: April 26, 2017, 0200 UTC »
AM carrier popping up and disappearing a few times on 6960 kHz, each time with a different tone modulating it.  Possibly somebody testing?  

At 0200 UTC, a USB signal popped up on frequency with Tubthumping...then off the air, then a quick keyup in AM...then off the air again...AM carrier back on at 0204 UTC, then off...then USB signal back on with "Scatman".  Somebody's doing some testing it looks like.

I noticed the carrier on 6955 at 0150 on the SDR recording, with very weak audio.
Some traces of music on 6960 USB starting around 0202. Very weak, and QRM from peskies.
