I've been straining through the noise from 2215 UTC until 2230 UTC and can barely make out that music is being played, but the signal is just too weak to ID the songs

S5 here amidst lots of band noise at 2253 UTC with a man talking rather slowly. Hard to copy. Frequency seems to be about 6900.4 KHZ AM and the man seems to be mentioning frequencies.
It does sound like a reading of times and frequencies....several mentions of "shortwave".
2348 UTC Music with man talking...mention of electromagnetic field?
2350 UTC 4 tones (IS?) repeated several times, then some strange music with man talking. Sounds like a recording being played at slow speed
Truly bizarre snippets of music, talking, and laughter...seemingly unrelated!
2358 UTC Off with the 4 note IS played once

Thank you for the interesting program whoever you are! I think you got the voices in my head all riled up
Ummm...QSL pretty please?
