Weak signal here from 2228 UTC until sign off at 2239...Spanish tune with accordian until 2238 UTC with announcement by man saying "WRR-Whisky Radio Radio...First broadcast." Apologized that he didn't have a computer or a printer? 50 watts into a dipole about 5 feet off the ground then "gone" and off.
