Several radio checks in what sounds like Spanish (uno, dos, uno...radio....hello...hey...hola...hey!, etc).

6888kHz 6,888 LSB 6.888 MHz LSB Spanish language

Seems like one of these stations is adjusting his mic gain or other settings.  At 1100 UTC, heavy marine engine noise noted in the background....then its like he cranked his mic gain all the way up and may have been tuning an antenna.

So there is either a data link that sounds very much like a diesel engine on 6885 kHz USB or 6888 kHz LSB or this is somebody operating marine radio.  Okay, I stand corrected, there is another signal on/near frequency.

At 10:12 GMT radio checks continuing with QRM from the data link or other signal on frequency, mixing with whatever background noise this guy has going on.  Changed to "one two three four...two three four...A...B...C...D...then back to "uno...dos...uno...dos...dos..uno....dos...thes...uno..." and so forth.
