Caught it here also at 0250 playing Mtn. Dew with ID's at 0254 and 0258 and with sign off at 0259. Signal was a S8 with good audio. Thanks for the late show WRR.  :)

Late SDR Recorder Catch
SINPO: 44434 at start, losing strength a little towards the end of b'cast

Might have been WRR tuning up around 0230 near 6915
0231 - Started transmitting mid-song - harder country rock until ID by OM at 0239
0239 - Positive ID by OM as WRR - Whiskey Redneck Radio
0240 - "Hobo Bill" - Grampa Jones
0243 - "John Henry" - Grampa Jones
0245 - "Mule Skinner Blues" - Grampa Jones
0249 - "Mountain Dew" - Grampa Jones
0251 - ... another Grampa Jones ditty
0253 - Positive ID by OM as WRR - Whiskey Redneck Radio
0254 - ...a Hank Williams song (for a limited time only OM says)
0257 - Positive ID by OM as WRR - Whiskey Redneck Radio
0258 - S/Off - QRT (We are gone, gone, gone...)

Thanks for the Show

That frequency could be trouble. The hurricane nets in the Southeast USA occupy that 6913 to 6918 chunk of frequencies this time of year.

I'd stay away that frequency until hurricane season is over.

Also, 6913.5 USB is a MARS net frequency. Using 6915 USB is a really really bad idea.
