1824 UTC - Pop music.Bad QRM from 6320 KHz and some sort of utility on 6321-6324 KHz so making the choice between two bad options, I have to listen in LSB. SINPO 11331 in Italy. Not going to check this frequency much because reception sucks here.

1940 UTC - Signal on 6320 is gone and can use LSB to listen.
1955 UTC - Talk by English accented announcer. Sounds a lot like The Ghoul from yesterday.
2001 UTC - Signal is improving here.
2003 UTC - ID and email address but couldn't understand it. Should have made a recording!
2015 UTC - "Free radio on shortwave, The Ghoul."
2021 UTC - Talk about using a laser to replace a vinyl record stylus. Repeat from yesterday.
