UNID pirate station playing Christmas music on 6900 kHz AM, with pescadore or freebander QRM from 6900 kHz LSB...this station was on when four other pirates were on (6880 kHz, 6930 kHz, 6955 kHz and 6970 kHz) - a pirate radio Christmas miracle?

Carrier, then piano music with good signal, sounds like Christmas music at 1608 UTC

SSTV at 1622 and 1625, then off abruptly at 1628 UTC
