On the 2249 UTC 74 deg elevation pass i try one SSTV transmission but only hear a very weak audio on the downlink on a S9 plus 30 carrier. There is a problem with the audio level setting probably?
I also hear someone speaking with a child it look like a telephone conversation a bit off the uplink frequency.
A couple of also weak SSTV tone where transmitted but to weak to be decoded "-"

I believe I have been hearing something similar lately. A transmission that seems to be very garbled and off-frequency, it's been making me scratch my head regarding it's origins. Anyone have any idea?

It's likely one of the Chinese long-range cordless phones that pop up on e-Bay all the time, even though they are illegal to import or sell in the US (and probably Canada, as well). They operate in the ham bands and plague AO-51 users in Europe and Asia, making the bird virtually unusable at times.....
