02:09 just tuned into blue grass music - some type of concert mx. S-9+
02:15 new song - from a live concert, love bluegrass so this is refreshing!
02:19 Clear ID of Radio Appalachia - repeated several times
02:30 ID's with ad Jim Wallter home builders, "little or no money down" c/o Radio Appalachia (funny)
02:33 signal just tanked, barely audible now...
02:37 can still hear music, just above the QRN 02:42 ID's after 3 Stooges "Hello" greeting - signal up a bit.
 
Thanks for the Show - Much Appreciated!

Beat me to it, Chris. :) I just happened to stumble across their carrier wave right before they started the music. Right now it's Blue Moon of Kentucky Pretty good signal too, peaking at an S7.

Poor
6930.16 kHz

0206 - Bluegrass music / banjo pickin
0216 - sounds like a taped live show presentation of C/W
          bluegrass type music
0219 - Famous short Stooges audio bit - "Hello, Hello, Hello...Hello. Quiet numbskulls, I'm broadcasting"
0219 - Positive ID by OM as: "You are listening to Radio Appalachia"
0220 - into more music
.......
0233 - signal took a nose dive big time, barely audible

Poor to Fair signal in Toronto.   Reminds me of WHBH-Hillbilly Heaven from many years ago.

0258utc woman's voice cutting through quiet conditions on my beverage aimed in the general direction of the Appalachians. Earlier there was little bits of hill-music.  
I'm very excited for this catch, its my first time hearing it! Its been on my radar for about a year or more.

0305ish, carrier gone

Jim Walter Homes, LOL! They weren't beloved in this part of Appalachia.

They built a display lot and sales office on what used to be the local baseball field when I was a teenager. That big yellow plastic sign had more holes through it than a screen door from rocks and gunshots from angry locals.

That's what they get for putting down a gravel parking lot full of egg sized rocks over the old ballfield.
