I can just barely see the carrier.  @ 6924.2 khz
Liquid Radio's signal is up a bit -and I get a Hetrodyne when 6924.2 pops up above the noise.

I have been having a difficult time receiving Pirate sig's from the East the past few days and nights.

Propagation seems to be favoring roughly North South the past few days and especially nights.

Today and yesterday during the day Fort Collins has been strong on all bands - South of me.
MW at night has been loaded with strong sig's both from the North and South - such as 1700 khz XEPE Teccate Baja & 540 khz CBK SK CA.

Propagation is a strange mistress indeed.

All I had was a carrier here, then a little rough audio.  I'm not sure if the talk I heard was this station or Liquid Radio, but it was so weak and unidentifiable that it's pretty much moot anyway.  The band is ridiculously loud, but I suspect that's time of day and QRM.

Somebody jamming/keying over, or just atmospheric weirdness?
