What's underneath BBC 5975kHz @ 0257UTC?

Tonight (3-Feb-2006) I heard chimes underneath the BBC on 5975 kHz,
like a different (weaker) station was on the same frequency. Didn't
recognize the theme but it sounded vaguely carribean (maybe steel
drums and not chimes, it was the same note repeated three times and
then a step up, repeat.) Any idea what it was?
Is there (on the net maybe) a catalog of the themes that SW
broadcasters use before their broadcasts?
5975 is a busy frequency. According to the ILG table the BBC starts
broadcasting from Delano and is ending a relay from Guiana at that hour
so maybe you heard chimes from both those relays.
According to Passport Uzbekistan and Vietnam are on frequency at that
time.
This situation might be a good candidate for a loop antenna where you
could null one of that stations out.
