this frequency is allocated to aeronautical services and is used, a.o., by 
a network of Russian aero weather stations (so called "volmet" 
stations).  Here is the net:

6730               VOLMET/R             Tbilisi h+00, 30
                                        Aktyubinsk h+05, 35
                                        Almaty h+10, 15, 40, 45
                                        Tashkent h+20, 50 (H24)

So you received Almaty giving weather for several airports, including the 
Karaganda you heard mentioned.
For information about utility stations such as these ones, you can visit 
the WUN site ( http://www.wunclub.com/ ), where you can also join to their 
list, the utility equivalent of the HCDX list.
A list of aeronautical station (that's where I took the above information 
from) can be downloaded from http://www.ute-monitor.org/aerolist/

Hope this helps; 73

Fabrizio
