2311 tuned in to music in progress, but shortly after heard station ID
This is Hard Tack Radio followed by music.

Weak signal with moderate noise, making speech difficult to understand

2313 more music, instrumental with drums and fife
2314 music stopped... OTA

Thanks for the program, I wish I had caught more of it.
