Odd music and SSTV now on this frequency. Part of the same program. So not a beacon - a pirate.

There was a pirate like this last summer, although I think it was more in the standard 43m band, and IIRC it was active on and around Independence Day. The message was in a loop and was on and off for hours. It was quite strong out west, good enough that Fldigi was able to decode things accurately. No phone or SSTV that I recall.
