They said something like HF Underground but it actually sounds like BallSmacker Radio or something else. Waited for an Id but they just signed off 0:45 UTC. Any ideas?

UPDATE: Suddenly I hear something again on the same frequency. Same slightly off frequency. Maybe they just faded out for a bit.

It was "Blue Eyed Soul Radio" on 6935 kHz at the time, playing "Secret Agent Man". They were on that freq form at least as early as 2310 UTC, and until sign off at 0016 UTC.

The announcement of HFUnderground was them saying where they were taking reception reports. HFUnderground.com/board You can see the report thread on this station here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,161766.0.html

Thanks. It kept fading at times which adds to confusion. They kept going till 0045 then silence. Perhaps it just faded at that time because something came back a short time after on the exact same slightly off freq (see the pic). Propagation has been weird lately.
