You have:
2238Z 14400 kHz 25432 S6
2250Z 13850 kHz 15431 S5 Just above the noise

What is 25432 and 15431? Is that a format or classification type?

Those are SINPO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SINPO_code) codes.

S (Signal strength)
The relative strength of the transmission.

I (Interference)
Interference from other stations on the same or adjacent frequencies.

N (Noise)
The amount of atmospheric or man-made noise.

P (Propagation)
Whether the signal is steady or fades from time to time.

O (Overall merit)
An overall score for the listening experience under these conditions.

5 is the best, 1 is the worst.
