6970 khz AM station
« on: June 30, 2020, 0019 UTC »
Heard at 0005 GMT on 6790 khz with English speaking male and female announcer with various news topics with mention of Vancouver at one point. Could be CBC relay? Harmonic? Unusual  frequency for a SWBC station.

I think what you heard was a pirate relay that was noted under "Shortwave Pirate" topics.  By the way, welcome to the board.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
