6900 kHz or 6.900 MHz is the "home channel" for Spanish speaking operators on 43 meters.  Usually its 6900 LSB. See also: 6666.6 kHz USB and a seemingly endless number of others.  6900 LSB is the most often logged though.  They are land based stations having an informal ham radio ragchew-like (or CB 11 meter like) QSO, often in "roundtable" format with a loose net control operating style. 

At 2203 UTC I am hearing Spanish speakers chatting away on 6900 LSB and 6900 USB.  Hearing "over" (in Spanish) and other indicators that the guys talking at least know the basics of radio procedure. 
U.S. East Coast, various HF/VHF/UHF radios/transceivers/scanners/receivers - land mobile system operator - focus on VHF/UHF and 11m
