Was waiting on 6876 when carrier came on at 2331utc, much static from rain in Chicagoland, at 2333utc songs "catch us if you can" and "satisfaction", R2000 & dipole. (edit) Ah yes I remember these tunes. Thanks. During the 1964-1965 school year I was a freshman at Milwaukee School of Engineering studying EE. I flunked calculus and said screw it and joined the USAF.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Catching the TCS here also at a S7 peaking at S9 and good audio but getting hampered badly by storm static almost at the same level. Tough copy-bummer. Thanks anyway JP and Relayer! Great new show and excellent set of tunes! ;D

For the most part I had to cut antennas last nite due to local lightning strikes, but was able to do an SDR Recording between 0004 and 0037 UTC.  Several memorable tracks from my youth including My Girl, Hang On Sloopy, Can't You Feel My Heartbeat, Do You Believe In Magic, Eight Days A Week, Go To Pieces, Go Now, Unchained Melody, and Ferry Cross the Mersey.

Solid S9 reception, which is well above the norm lately for TCS reception here with very loud t'storm noise.

Thank you for the show TCS and Relay!
