  This may be the first or second time to hear Radio Appalachia glad that I am able to hear some bluegrass music. Good signal some storms in the area but a solid signal 9.

2330-39 utc 6935 kHz 31 may 2015 - radio Appalachia? never got clear id.  coming in around s5 here in Westchester county, new York.

2330 country western music - male vocal (dylanish twang)
2333 into cw tune - w/female vocal
2234 (dips to 6934, then back up to 35)
2237 garbled audio - male, possible id? into new tune
2239 cw tune...

at this point static and crashes from rain storm (and occasional thunder) made it unlistenable here.
