I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

S8 to S9 here in central PA. I have a lot of local interference that it sometimes fades down into. When the neighbours go to bed all that noise goes away thankfully.

Heard the ID @ 0152z.

0240z - Turning Japanese by The Vapors (FYI The Liz Phair cover of that tune is excellent too ;))
0243z - Little Girls by Oingo Boingo
0248z - Tainted Love by Soft Cell

Lost it in the noise.  :-\

Thanks for the show!

Very enjoyable show. The atmospherics tonight are not very good, so there's noise and fading but the signal is still overcoming. Good audio too.

Thanks especially for "fish heads". I love that song!  :)

0307 Hearing "major tom" by peter schilling now but the signal is almost gone. Using ECSS to get it.

Catching The Crystal Ship sailing in here with a S7-9 with some fading but getting hammered by a wicked line of storms moving in making it almost unlistenable. Audio is good at peaks. Heard Der Kommissar at 0148 with 80's Sound ID at 0152 into  Love My Way and then Number One at 0157. Thanks for the show JP and Relayer, sucks that storms are moving in. :-\

0217 TCS ID with ad about ebeastiality.com and Free Radio Cafe. Yes we are having fun!!!! ;D

Time to shut it down due to the bad storms on my doorstep. Thanks again JP and Relayer!

Rough conditions tonight, very fadey and crashy (confirmed by hamsters on the 75/80m and 40m bands tonight, from Texas to the East Coast).

Listening intermittently while dialing around between 0200z-0330z, heard TCS relay network IDs along with 1980s music: Gary Numan "Cars", The Fixx "Stand or Fall", before signal faded around 0225z. Via barefoot Sony ICF-2010 outdoors in AM sync mode.

Tuned in again later, with Palstar R30C outdoors with external antenna. Perceptible signal wasn't really much better, mostly the outdoor antenna boosted the uber-crashy QRN too.
Heard better signal around 0315z, with Wang Chung "To Live and Die in LA", and familiar sign-off with Juliana Montana TCS ID and invitation to explore her pants, Quint's song from Jaws, Ramones.

Audio sounded good, makes a difference in copying material in rough conditions.
