SINPO=23222 at best. Tough to copy here under the noise. T-storms in the area.

109- "Happy Together" by The Turtles.
111- "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin (an easy one to hear under the noise!)

Signal deteriorated here, to SINPO=21111, so tough to copy...
153- Happy (Remix) by DJ Abdel and Francisco. Signal peaking/peeking up through the QRN intermittently, sufficient to copy.
155- OM speaking.
156- Tune with rock sound and beat. Signal is washed over by QRN here now.
200- New song.
201- OM speaking.
202- Music with electronic sounding beat and YL.
By 206- Music with OM.
209- Signal mostly lost, but can hear OM speaking.
210- Song, sounds pop/rock. Guessing from the chords that it's Sheryl Crow, "If It Makes You Happy," but just heard a soundbite of that.

Blood, Swear, and Tears at 0105.
Conditions bad here at the moment.  Sounds like geo-magnetic storm blowing through.
Whatever in may be, the whole band here is awash in static.  Audio a bit muddy/watery.

Tuned in at 0112, weak signal, hear song "don't worry be happy", at 0122 song "if you want to be happy never make a pretty woman your wife", then song "hallelujah come on be happy", apparently a happy themed program, said ballsmacker@protonmail.com
