6.697 mhz is indeed a shortwave frequency. See my HF website:

This is referenced to 6697 KHz. The KHz reference is common for Shortwave Listeners where as MHz (6.697) is used more often as a reference in the Amateur Radio community.

The KHz reference is common for Shortwave Listeners? What is your source?

The source is based on SWL publications over the decades, not a single source. I started as an avid SWL back in the early 70's The publications referencing stations were in KC's (Kilocycles) then switched over to kHz as that standard was more widely accepted.
There isn't an incorrect way of stating frequency, just differing perspectives.

Thanks for asking
