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

0208 UTC tune in to a fair signal marred by noise level with a little C&W finger picking music
0209 UTC Man with live intro to another finger picking fiddle playing bluegrass tune
0212 UTC Same description as 0209 UTC!
Sounds like a live concert recording of some good bluegrass music!
0218 UTC ID by man announcer..."You are listening to Radio Appalachia...", into more bluegrass tunage
0224 UTC More bluegrass music (wish I knew more about this music besides Allison Kraus and maybe Flatt & Scruggs)
0226 UTC Some nice old boys with harmony vocals
0228 UTC ID by man announcer..."You are listening to Radio Appalachia, the free voice of the Ohio Valley.....", into something about a farm or barn...finest contruction???
0231 UTC More music now, then some old boys talking
0233 UTC Now more finger picking banjo man singer
0235 UTC More live bluegrass with man intro to song...
(I think this is all the same artists here playing live?)
0240 UTC Man announcer with ID..."You are listening to Radio Appalachia, the Free Voice of the Ohio Valley....???" Then a Three Stooges Clip ;D
0241 UTC Another live intro by man singer bluegrass tune
0244 UTC A slow familiar sounding mournful tune with harmonica and piano  and man singer with harmony vocals(sounded like Amazing Grace)
0249 UTC Another slow ballad with harmony vocals and slow picking
0253 UTC Slow gospel tune with lady singer and steel guitar(June Carter Cash?)
0256 UTC Another ballad by lady singer
0259 UTC Song with man talking intro into slow ballad Lady singer
0301 UTC OFF after the last song

Thanks for the down home music RA guy! Wish I knew the music and the artists you played, but I guess I'm just an old city boy.... :)
Signal varied from S5 with nice audio down to S2 and in the noise, but mostly above the noise and good copy 8)

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