UNID ~6925 USB 0159z-0212z 05-22-12

Recorder catch:

6925ish mode? (rx in USB) SIO 323

Decent signal with little fade - signal must have been a bit south of 6925 making it hard to understand.

01:59z came on with ship's bell & seagull noises
02:02z someone laughing
02:03z talking, but can't make it out
02:06z weird tones
02:07z scifi sounds - I've heard this before from this log: http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,7155.0.html
02:12z Off

Audio (complete tx): http://archive.org/download/ShortwaveOddsSodsTransmissions/Unid_pirate6925Usb0159z-0212z05-22-12.mp3

Anyone else catch this?

Thanks! :)

I noted a weak carrier in the waterfall at about 6924.3, 0200-0213z.  I could never really get any useable audio from it.  I think this was AM.
