Good log Brett. This slow drifting is the same thing I'm seeing here on the Cape with R. Popular.
Signal is typically pretty good around 0300-0400 UTC. Piece of cake on USB with any decent communications receiver. Seems like this would be widely logged in the eastern US/Canada and western Europe/Africa.
This is my recording from a few nights ago:
http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/audio1/r_popular_yv-700p53_20150320_0330z.mp3
700.0 competition is predominantly HJCX Cali, Colombia in the "W radio" network // 690. Here they are on LSB.
http://www.qsl.net/wa1ion/audio1/hjcx-700_20150322_0300z.mp3
IBOC from 710 WOR is more of an issue on the LSB of 700. It even is a factor when WOR itself is completely covered by Rebelde Cuba right on 710. Lately at night this has been the case more often than not.
WLW isn't much of a factor on 700 here in eastern MA even on non-auroral nights, partially because neither SuperLoop I'm using has much pick-up west-southwest and partially because anything from due south and southeast (Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil typically) is heading in here over water for a big advantage.

Heard this carrier throughout the week, usually getting stronger as the night went on. Frequency seemed to climb from 700.5 up to 700.57 during week. On 22 March at 0330 UTC got an ID: "Radio Popular con ?? (pause for music) desde Maracaibo en para todo provincia de Maracaibo, transmite Radio Popular desde la ??, 700 kilocyclos en amplitud modulada. Emisora ?? antena ?? AM. Radio Popular, la emisora en ??â (thanks to Dave Valko for the transcription from my recording).
Recording is available at: http://www.personal.psu.edu/bds2/audio/amdx/700.57%20Radio%20Popular%20Maracaibo%20Venezuela%200330%20UTC%203-22-15.mp3

This station is drifting. I have several capture files over the past week and it has shown up on 700.45, 700.50, 700.53, and 700.54. I just checked around 2330 UTC / 7:30 p.m. EDT and got 700.525.
Since there are no other carriers slightly above 700 on any of these captures, I suspect that what Bruce had on 700.546 and even what was noted on 700.687 kHz last NOV in PEI are all the same station, Radio Popular de Maracaibo.
Some stations in the tropics leave carrier on 24/7 even if not broadcasting audio.
Other notable splits are 539.86 Nicaragua, 819.54 Colombia, 890.112 Dominican Republic, 939.875 Mexico, 1039.62 Venezuela, 1309.685 Colombia, and unID's on 1060.286 and 1070.124. Most of these are relatively stable compared to 700.5v.
It would be interesting to see what the hot-shot European DXers have been noting recently.
And congratulations to Neil Kazaross for his 1030 Argentina log from IL and Tim Tromp for 1548 Australia from MI. Conditions have been far more interesting lately than in most of NOV, DEC, JAN, and FEB.

During the Prince Edward Island DXpedition, an unID offset signal was measured at 700.687 kHz. I believe Bill Whitacre also received 700.687 kHz back then. It could be the same as the 700.546 kHz I've been receiving at dawn during the auroral event over the past couple mornings. I've noted a few other common offsets including HJCG and YVLB, but like you said, not enough oomph to pull up audio.

Thx for the tip on this freq. I'll check recordings to see if I can pull up at least a carrier. Cheating KHSE 700 isn't helping this channel in this AU. Quite a few off freq carriers noted. Just not enough oomph to pull up any audio from YVLB on 1039.6a. 73 KAZ near Chicago
