Xmas Music was The Buzzer ??? 6980 was 6970 USB 0115 UTC 10 Nov 2014

It sure sounds like The Buzzer. Any ideas?
Switched to AM mode then off at 0117z.
Back on at 0119z with distorted audio, then it sounded like Christmas music!
Someone is having fun.
Back on in AM mode with Rocking Around The Christmas Tree.

Moved to 6980 now, but there is QRM there.

Sounds like The Carpenter's Christmas album now. Lots of audio issues, and 6980 is not a noise free as 6970.

I have 'Its Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas' on 6980 here as well. Signal is fairly strong, peaking at an S8, but the audio is low.

Now they're back on 6970 with the Carpenters.

Back on this time 6970 AM with same music at 0128 UTC. Fair to good signal with nice audio

Having been hearing a fair amount of what seems like encrypted voice up there the last cupla nights.  It could be related to getting buzzed?

SINPO: 33222 - scratchy audio

Was hearing Carpenters Christmas music on frequency earlier.

0140 - Sounds like marching band music
0144 - Abruptly off after some bells...

Very interesting at 0138 on 6970 an FM signal came up and appears to be playing marching band music.
0143 off? Can't tell FM really sucks on HF.
