 As some of you may know, I've been noting an UNID. on  6160.06 for 
about 2 months now.  Its been very difficult due to severe QRM  from 
CKZN.  Hopefully some of you may be able to help.  The signal  comes on 
the air around 1000 UTC and is highly variable.  Sometimes well  after 
1000 and sometimes before, as was the case this morning (locally  here). 
There are some days when its not on at all, or may come on too late  for 
reception here.  I've never noted it in our evenings until  yesterday. 
Found it at 2344 and was on well past 0030.  Morning fades  suggest 
possible western South America/Andes location.  I finally did get  what 
I believe is heavily distorted audio this morning.  A woman announcer 
was speaking from 1001 to 1004 UTC.  It was too distorted to determine 
the  language.  Checked for signals in the 49mb (just above 5960) that 
appeared  at the same time this came on the air at 0958 but there were 
none.  So its  doubtful its a spur.  Due to my relatively close 
proximity to CKZN, I'm not  in a good position to have much luck 
identifying this signal.  Below are  links where you can hear what the 
distorted audio sounded like this morning at  1001 to 1002 UTC, and also 
a screenshot showing the signal coming on the air at  0958 UTC.  In the 
MP3 recording, you'll hear CKZN as well which was about  100 hz below. 
In the screenshot, beside the signal on 6160.06, you can  also see CKZN 
on 6159.97 and another very weak signal on 6160 which I presume to  be 
R. Rossii (much too weak for audio).  If any of you can help, I'd 
appreciate it very much.

Thanks and 73!!
