TCS - High Plains Relay Service 6925 USB 0109z

[ChrisSmolinski]

"Breaking The Law" music, into ID. Very strong signal, S9.

Into The Doors, so I assume a TCS relay.

PLS QSL cps@blackcatsystems.com

[HTP]

Listening now as well, but heard him just recite something starting with the crystal ship (ah just realized that's what you meant by TCS lol).  Trying to do too many things at once here.  Playing Tom Petty now.  Coming in nice and clear here.

Strong here.  SINPO 54343
I believe a repeat of the same show played last weekend.

0136 sounds like The Who 'Won't Get Fooled Again.'  Barely making it above the noise, but I believe this is the strongest HPRS has been here.

[Newfoundland DXer]

I assume this is what I am hearing ... finally faded in 0155 with a Bunny voice morphing from "Bunny" to "socK" (I thinK) then "Crazy Train"

Really great to hear the Poet back on the pirate bands.

only 25431, but gradually climbing

0200 Now killed by carrier on 6925,1.   I think we all know who that is. :x


Cheers, Terry

Can't hear that carrier here, Terry, but HPRS has finally been making it through.  That was def Ozzy 'Crazy Train' that you heard--that was the peak signal here so far.  Signal has been S-6 to S-7, but unfortunately the noise floor is right about S-6.

12/3/11, 6925 USB, 0145z: Missed intro, but heard about 30 minutes of The Crystal Ship with lots of parody ads (Donner Family BBQ), spoofs of Commander Bunny voice, references to sockpuppets.  Marlon Brando's "dogs of war" soliloquy from Julius Caesar, Pink Floyd "Dogs of War".

Pretty slick programming and rather different from previous TCS shows I've heard.  The satirical references to this year's pirate spat were actually pretty damned funny, not mean spirited.
0217z: Ended with familiar Quint from Jaws singing about them Spanish ladies, Ramones.  Voice ID for High Plains Relay Service.
0218z: Immediately into another program, "(I Love It When You) Call Me Names" Joan Armatrading?, but suddenly off air after about five minutes.

SINPO=43433 (very close to 4 overall), one of the best signals I've heard this year in strength and audio, on par with Wolverine Radio and WTCR, regularly hitting S9 on the indoor fugloop - which would be S9+20 on a proper outdoor antenna.  Main problem aside from some fades is the usual heavy local RFI.

Other listeners said they could barely hear this one so I'm guessing I must be in the sweet spot for this year's swiss cheese ionosphere. 

Will post link to audio clip later, but might be only a temporary link.  Having trouble with my mediafire and yousendit accounts lately.
