6/1/13 - The Crystal Ship, 6925 USB
0218z: The Doors "The Crystal Ship", some wowowow phasing in audio, followed by Poet's intro ID, into song I didn't recognize.

Good signal through heavy static crashes to the home receiver, one of the few I've heard clearly at home this year.  SINPO=34343

0238z: Sounds like Tom Petty songs, don't recognize 'em so far.  Faded a bit and heavier QRN but still able to copy.  SINPO=34233
0240z: Crystal Ship ID and relay network, might have been some mention of Tom Petty, rough copy now through heavy QRN.
0253z: Juliana Montana TCS ID, Donner Family restaurant ad, Poet ID "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" and Tom Petty buried treasures show.  SINPO=34222, deeper fades now but still decent peaks.
0300z: Off or steep signal drop - still hearing something way down under the noise.

Good overall, one of the better signals I've heard this year to the home receiver and indoor antenna.

TCS is about S8 in NH this evening but with the storm static at S7 to S9+10 listening can be tough.

0240z ID, TCS Shortwave Relay Network
0300z Off...

0221 Doors - "The Crystal Ship"
0224 Opening words

Seems to be a replay of the "Buried Treasures from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" Show

Really nice S7-S9 signal here beating the storm QRN.

The Crystal Ship (relay), 6925U, 0227, 6/1/13.  Suddenly came up with the start of mellow music, 0242 ID. 

I had the E1 set on 6925U & didn't hear anything until 0227, originally thought it was a s/on.

Thanks for the show Poet & whomever is relaying.
