Bluegrass music at 2346 UTC
2349 UTC Several ID's by OM, into more fingerpicking :)
(Best using LSB to avoid UTE splatter...some Peskie QRM from 6933 LSB, but otherwise S5 and above the noise)
Nothing like some good fingerpicking, fiddle playing boys in the backwoods music to cheer up a tired soul on a cold and rainy Friday evening :)

 I was hearing some bluegrass on this particular frequency signal was good at times and then he was weak. I t was good to hear some bluegrass music for us who are living in the southland.
