I usually receive a type of heterodyne signal on 6.930 to 6.931 which is pronounced in the USB mode.   ...Steve

I had it in northern Canada. Definitely a transmission as I could pick out bursts of music but not steady enough to even wait around to ID.
Please QSL to MaplRadio@gmail.com

Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

I checked the SDR recording, and there was a very weak AM transmission on 6930 from 2227 to 2233. Inaudible at first, just a carrier on the waterfall, then some audio starting around 2231z. Picked up a bit more at 2232z, definite music, including vocals. Off (not a fade out) at 2233z.
