S-6 with "Mama's Got A Girlfriend", "Mrs. Jones", "American Music", multiple songs from Earl Scrugss, from 2345 onward.  Northwoods Radio ID by YL at 0004, with wildlife sound fx  - so don't know if this was a relay, or QRM by Northwoods.  Radio Appalachia ID ay 0021 by OM mentioning "Free Voice of the Ohio Valley".  Nice signal here in N. Alabama.

BTW, I just heard a very clear "Northwoods Radio" ID w/ gmail address at 0021, during a brief break in the bluegrass.  Confused, as no NW Radio-specific programming is being heard.
