Here also at 2347 UTC with nice S7 signal...unid genre instrumental music...
2350 UTC More unid instrumental music
Hmmm...lots of bells ringing
0008 UTC OFF?
0016 UTC I clearly heard an OM say something ending with "6955 kilohertz"
0017 UTC Again an OM synth voice "......?....east coast?...6955 kilohertz"
0021 UTC OM with "This is X7 Radio from the east coast USA, 6955 kilohertz"  :)
0037 UTC OFF again

The SSTV ended abruptly about 75% of the way through (That is Europa, one of Jupiter's Moons)
0049 UTC Music again....jazzy this time....sounds like a xylophone
0053 UTC OFF again

SSTV image without the "Noise filter B" (The detail of Europa is much better!)

(Signal here varied from S3 to S7 at times with excellent USB audio)
Thanks for the interesting show! Any chance of a contact address or QSL? I recorded much of the show if you are interested in hearing what it sounded like!  8)

At around midnight utc i was getting bells, chimes and gongs on 6955U, it made me think of Radio Gallifrey, half expected Dr Who to appear ... but then again it might just have been my inability to resolve a very weak ssb signal properly! Cheers ... krissy♂

UnId, 6955 USB, 0002, 11/13/17.  Weak new age music barely audible.  Off 0021 and back a couple of minutes later.  Still going as of 0027.

too weak to make out any talk.
