About S8 with fast fades. Some interference from peskies nearby.

2357z - The Young Gods - Skinflowers
0003z - The Young Gods - She Reins
0007z - Still S7 or so, but the audio is way low.
0016z - audio is back up some - sounds like more of the Young Gods
0030z - aDuck - Power
0054z - Killing Joke - Euphoria. Still S9, low audio which occasionally improves but cuts out
0100z - Thinking I'm hearing a locomotive whistle in the backround. Locomotive Radio?
0102z - The Pretty Reckless - Death By Rock and Roll
0105z - Ozzy - Crazy Train
0109z - Train Whistle sound.
0120z - Josh Turner - Long Black Train
0124z - The O'Jays - Love Train
0130z - OP ID, then some cartoon characters, female automated Locomotive Radio ID and email address.

Z

Drifty carrier around 6923.23 kHz. In the middle of Peskies SSB signals. Terrible modulation, something obviously wrong with the transmitter.

2356 UTC-Skinflowers by The Young Gods
2358 UTC-Unknown rock music, now drifting to the point where SSB is useless
0000 UTC-Talk, can’t understand
0001 UTC-The Night Dance by The Young Gods
0013 UTC-OFF

0015 UTC-Back on, Peskies gone
0016 UTC-Unknown Music

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

2359 UTC S7 signal but moderate noise along with peskie and OTH Radar QRM making things tough. Sounds like a punk rock song-OM singer
0003 UTC "The End"-Doors?
0005 UTC OFF or faded out? Damn peskie QRM is annoying
0007 UTC Still have a carrier
Here's my poor recording from 2359-0006 UTC:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eMZ7VzDJGSbV4_YlSveQdNf0EvJAKu9s/view?usp=sharing

0027 UTC Getting some solid audio again! Bass drum and some electronica sound
0034 UTC Faded out again...Still have the carrier
0059 UTC Was that the sound of a train rolling and a whistle? Hard to tell
0101 UTC Song now...
0149 UTC OFF after a long stretch of a whistling train rolling down the tracks.

Thanks for the show Locomotive Radio!

UnId rock, then some solo singing had to leave for a while, came back at 0008 to the signal having shrunk to inaudible.

Weak copy here on the SDR recording, with some QRM from the peskies.

I also suspect I heard their signal around 2240 UTC on the same frequency.
