Sign on at 2254 with an OM saying testing, then into country music. Rather weak, SIO 222.
2302 ID, I think Mustang Radio? OK, I can go with Moonlight Radio, since I heard them earlier this morning.

Weak here too, possibly the Soggy Bottom Boys / Man of Constant Sorrow or similar at 2258z.

2302z: ID given, something "Radio", still weak.

About S4 with bluegrass tune.  Quick clear ID @ 2304 and back into the music.
2308 - "Big Midnight Special" by Wilma Lee & Stoney Cooper.  Fair audio.
2312 - "I'm Gone, Long Gone" by Don Reno and Red Smiley and The Tennessee Cutups.
ID @ 2320 and off or faded.

Hearing some weak bluegrass/country music at 2303 UTC
2304 UTC OM with ID, but I didn't quite catch it!..."This is ?? Radio"
(Listened back on the recording and it is "Moonlight Radio" :) )
2307 UTC Different tune with vocals....signal is at or just above the noise floor here
(Signal came up a bit at 2310 UTC and I'm hearing some good old fancy banjo picking tune with harmony vocals)
2315 UTC Some more fiddle playing and banjo picking
2316 UTC OM with "This is Moonlight Radio"...fiddle playing and banjo picking continued.... ;)
Signal seemed to disappear at 2320 UTC...OFF?

A new one for me also! Thanks for the finger picking & fiddle playing Moonlight Radio!
