2138z- Light My Fire by The Doors. Can't believe I can even hear this with such a trash setup like this.
This has to be Mix Radio International.
2144z: Georgy Girl by The Seekers? Not sure
2148z: Peanuts by Little Joe Cook and The Thrillers SINPO 25342
2157z: Joy to the World by Three Dog Night. Switched to indoor loop antenna and noise is gone but reception is still bad
2200z: Green Onions by Booker T and The M.G.'s
2203z: Can I Change My Mind by Tyrone Davis
2216z: I Never Loved a Man (the Way I Love You) by Arethra Franklin

Thanks for the show! I would very much appreciate an e-QSL! Email in signature.

on 6860 USB
2231 music, QRM from usual Asian 6865 AM,
2233 next track, 2235 a fade, gone ?

on 6851 USB
2241 Elvis? ?  "Little girl" ?
2245 "Some girls" or "I'd rather be with you", hard to hear with UT close on the low side

on 6852 USB
2253 oldie, 2255 "I love you I need you"?, 2258 next
2305 Stevie Wonder, more oldies that I don't know
2316 "Satisfaction"  ... 2322 "Denis" (not Blondie), 2324 Elvis "Are you lonesome tonight"
2332 "Eleanor Rigby"  ... 
(listening with my own RX - but I had a problem with Wifi when I tried to print a page)
2340 oldie, 2341 (I call that 'anorak' music because it was played on the European offshore stations)
2344 "I'll never find another you"' ... 2351 "Poison Ivy"
2358 strong noisy UT right on the passand, looking on a waterfal : 6870 is free (or 6865 on another)

on 6870 USB
0007 oldie ... 0012 girl group  0017 "CC rider", 0020 next ...  0025 "Let's go"

on 6865 USB
0032 "You make me ...", 0035 next, 0037 next ...
0047 "Summer in the city"  ... 0052 Beatles "Day tripper"

Thanks for the great show, and for looking for the best frequency.
But it's almost 2 o'clock here, and I'm going to fall asleep

0100 next track (but I'm leaving the RX for my bed, thanks again)
