S9 signal, decent audio with quite a bit of 'barber-poling' on the waterfall.
Bluegrass music.  "Blue Ridge Mountain Blues" @ 2319.
"The Fields Have Turned Brown" @ 2330.

Multiple ID's @ 2336

S8 and steady without barber-poling @ 2349.

Thanks for the early show.  I usually have problems receiving you after sunset.

2319 UTC on 6935.3 KHZ with some finger picking just above the noise
Signal picked up just a bit around 2328 UTC with some good old boys singing and some fancy fiddle playing
2332 UTC I think there might have been a Radio Appalachia ID just now, followed by some more good time picking and fiddling :)
2337 UTC Clear ID by OM....You are listening to Radio Appalachia...
2351 UTC Local microinverter noise just went off and much clearer here :) S meter is bouncing from S1 -S6 though....
2356 UTC OM with clear ID, signature Three Stooges clip, then another ID....."High above Moundsville West Virginia...This is Radio Appalachia", followed by a live  Johnny Cash with medley including "I Walk The Line" (there...I know this one!)

Barely above the noise at times...
6935.2 kHz

2323 - Bluegrass music
2337 - Positive ID by OM as: "You are listening to Radio Appalachia. The Free
           Voice of the Ohio Valley"
2337 - into more Bluegrass type music
2345 - Wabash Cannonball (?)

Wish I could ID some more of this fine music.
Thanks for the show!
