Recorder Catch on 6925USB

Prior to and during the block of Snausages SSTV, there was near constant pesc activity on the USB, and after the last Snausages SSTV, this was heard again.  Mixed in with this I noted the following:

0056 Two tones with YL robo voice repeating something, followed by a zoingy noise and more YL robo talk
0057 OM robo talk (unintelligible) followed by more SFX
0101 YL voice or robo saying something, followed by a piano etude ending in "shave and a haircut".

The Fansome SDR SSTV followed, but I am not certain to whom this stream between 0056 and 0102 belongs.

Weak to fair with pesc QRM.

Recorder catch:

6925 USB

Also caught some this as JF mentioned - I couldn't make out the YL robo, but could hear the tones, "shave and a haircut" and finally music at 01:12z.  Signal here was weak, barely above the noise with pesq. QRM as well.

00:56z-00:57z (two tones):

01:01z-01:02z (shave & haircut):

01:11z SSTV tx, but too weak to decode.

01:12z-01:17z (music):

I heard this also, after the Radio Marlene broadcast. Wasn't sure if it was Marlene chatting with someone else or what. Thought it could have been drunken boater syndrome, damn shore tourists! :^)
Then the short piano piece with the "shave & a haircut" ending too. All came in pretty clearly here.
