The Crystal Ship 6876 AM 1343z
« on: November 26, 2009, 1346 UTC »
Carrier just came up. Usual alternating sound clips: "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum" and Doors "before you slip into unconsciousness". Weak signal on the T2FD, slightly better on the 43 mb dipole.

The Crystal Ship, 11/26/09, 6976AM, SINPO 35423
Amazing - not a hint of TCS all morning. A strong S9 signal faded out on 6925 and now TCS quite strong here!

1522z - Marty Robbins - El Paso
