SDR recording catch
2322 Carrier noted, this was the start of the SDR recording, so it actually came on the air earlier. Seemed to be on 6954.97 kHz. Fairly weak, with a lot of fading in and out.
0313 Off

I never heard any audio. Not sure this was a pirate, but the frequency choice is circumstantial evidence it may have been.

Past few nights the carrier has been there with occasional audio. Had the carrier for hours last night but no audio at all unfortunately. Probably safe to assume it will be there again tonight.

Perhaps it is a low power or distant station. Could be something from the west coast, or even Latin America (although I think we've lost the propagation window for good reception from Latin America until Fall).
