UNID 6925 AM 2345 UTC 13 Jul 2017

So far UNIDed station 6925 AM.  S9 or so, audio is a little low but has improved during the program.  I think I saw this station tuning up before it came on with audio.

2348z  What You Won't Do For Love, Bobby Caldwell
2350z  You Needed Me, Anne Murray

Off suddenly at 0000z.  Just before leaving the air I heard some squealing in the audio, like SWR or RF in the audio issue.  Before it left the air the audio was starting to be very nice.  Good audio bandwidth.

I suspect it is the same station, back after 0120 UTC.  About the same signal, better audio, similar music selection.  Signal is about 10 kHz wide.

Back again here at 0113z. 6925.068 kHz. I switched to USB mode to try and extract some audio.
Music heard starting at 0125z.
Off at 0151.

I suspect had the station been on a bit later, when the path to the west coast was completely dark, reception may have been better?
