6/18/12, 6925 USB, 0230z: Just tuned in, heard TCS Relay Network ID and "Baseball!".  Verrry dramatic reading of "Casey at the Bat", sounds like Borlis Karloff reading, tough copy through fades and local noise.  Springsteen "Glory Days".
0243z: Abbott and Costello "Who's On First" routine.  I dunno.  Third base.
0247z: Song about Ty Cobb.
0250z: "Joltin' Joe DiMaggio", Les Brown & His Band of Reno w/ Betty Jane Bonney
0252z: "You are tuned to the TCS Shortwave Relay Network" ID
0300z: John Fogarty "Centerfield", "Go get 'em, Tigers", other stuff.
0307z: Ol' lady sez someone is being "too darned sexually explicit"
0315z: Meatloaf "Pair of Dice by the Dashboard Light".  Pair of Guys.  Pair of Eyes.  Pero Dies.  Something like that.
0323z: Commander Bunny endorses the Free Radio Cafe? The late, great Rodney King was right - We really can all just get along.
0329z: Sign-off ID, Quint, Ramones "We Want the Airwaves", Jack Webb, Cary Grant
SINPO=43323, signal peaks up to S9 via indoor antenna, but fades to S1.

SDR recording catch, mostly an S7 signal, noise levels not too bad, so overall very good reception.

I had this one too.  Good signal into southern Wisconsin, heard from 0238-0315 UTC, though it was definitely on both before and after I heard it.  My first encounter with TCS, woohoo!
