[Spooks] ID on an X station

I heard a station Sunday night about 2300 UTC, which transmitted at least three hours at about 8,500 KHz. It sounded like our old whale song buddy XM, exept the transmission was busier with at least four signals simultaneously.
This has to be the weirdest thing I have ever heard. Anybody else hear it? I'd appreciate an exact frequency if someone heard it. I have an analog readout.
In addition to the whale song, there was what I have heard called the "jet", an RTTY- teletype sound, and a dominant "glub, glub" sound. Of all these, the glub was dominant.
Once, the transmission stopped for a minute and someone said "one charlie echo." There was a similar reply from the receiving location, but it was faint.
Can anybody identify the enigma? Was it XM or another enigma?
