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.
