UNID (ex 6970 AM relay?) 6790 AM 2335 UTC 23 Nov 2020

Noticed that the 6970 AM relay of the WPTI FM North Carolina station was missing, and while tuning around I had a solid on and off carrier on 6770 AM at 2151 UTC. It disappeared and I found another on and off carrier on 6790 AM at 2157 UTC. I rechecked at 2336 UTC and am now hearing the same station (presumed) that was on 6970 AM the past couple months fading in and out of the noise.

Noticed it a few minutes ago when turning the VFO. Radio teleplay, audiobook, or similar into commercials at 0626z. SINPO 25322. Good modulation on peaks, but with considerable fades and occasional static crashing.
