0023: bluegrass music, my guess is Radio Appalachia, really tough copy due to static and wideband ute stations on either side, 32232

0032 S7, had to tighten up the filter to try to knock out the very strong utilities nearby. It would be decent copy if not for the utes.

Excellent signal at 0055 with old bluegrass song. Might need to unplug the antenna because that last lightning strike reached full quieting!

Mac Wiseman? I knew him when I was a kid. He was a cousin. I used to call him Uncle Mac.
 
RA, you ought look up the works of one Elmer Bird. Another one of my kinfolks. The man who preserved the old time "Drop Thumb Banjo" style. Of course he invented it, too. Elmer was hoot. I used to do broadcasts from the bottom across the creek from his birthplace and up on the hill above where he and his wife are buried.
