Heard here at 23:37 with Wake Up Sunshine/Chicago (when they were good). Nice signal with minimal noise and mostly absent fading.
2339 - Feelin' Stronger Everyday.
2343 - OM with "Worldwise" ID. Then into Questions 67 and 68.

Thank you WTF for playing this true classic music (Chicago before they went MOR) that so-called "Classic Rock" FM stations won't play.

2348 - Lowdown. Signal continues to cut through the moderate noise.
0004 - Where Do We Go From Here
0052 - My Sweet Lord - George (still a killer signal)
0056 - The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night

Been hearing here since Dixie Chicken (about five minutes ago or 0141). Into song with flute, but not Jethro Tull. Signal is cutting through the noise good enough, and there is a good deal of noise to cut through.

Hearing here in NE MA since 0220 with Jingle Bell Rock and Have a Holly Jolly Christmas. Fair signal without interference but moderate noise and problematic fading (mixing with noise) being a bit tough at times. SINPO = 35322...so far.

Hearing here in NE MA on 6.865 since 0040, with what sounded like Amy Winehouse, followed by a brief Mix Radio jingle, Than Al Green's Lets Stay Together. Incredibly strong and clear signal! This may be the closest to a perfect pirate signal that I've ever
heard. More promos and an actual honest to God address for QSLs, followed by The Allman Bros.

0059 - Brief YL ID and Free with All Right Now. Signal is still pounding in now. I'd chuck the headphones, but my sleeping wife across the hall may not be as interested in this broadcast as I am.

0110 - Hot Radio Shortwave ID by OM. Signal has quickly and decisivily deteriorated here. Weak now with  more noise.
