Just signing on now.
-
The Crystal Ship on 6876 AM @ 2352 APR 14
On now opening with "The International"
Fair signal.
Station ID @2355.
Dramatic signal improvement here @ 0028.
-
2357 Almost completely inaudible unfortunately, but hopefully will improve as the broadcast goes on.
0001 Kansas "Carry On My Wayward Son" briefly surfacing, then fading and coming back. Improvement!
0008 BTO "Let it Ride."
0013 Judas Priest "You Got Another Thing Coming"
Signal now pretty consistently audible, still fading out sometimes. I'm going to guess that this is what you guys mean by "S2" or "S3."
0018 The Boss "No Surrender"
0022 Autograph "Turn Up the Radio"
Copy is a bit rougher again.
0027 Jane's Addiction "Been Caught Stealing"\
I think I detect a theme...
0030 Steely Dan "Do It Again"
0036 Mudcrutch "Scare Easy" (new music for me)
0040 YL and OM, The Crystal Ship ID, voices continued for a couple of minutes.
0043 Dokken "Breaking the Chains"
Copy is now about as rough as it was for me at 0000, noise with the occasional half second of audible music.
0047 "You are listening to..." [became inaudible] into new metal song (turns out to be "Unchained" Van Halen)
0050 The Who "I'm Free"
0053 YL Crystal Ship station ID
0054 OM, too faint to make out.
0056 The Who "Magic Bus"
0059 Don Felder "Heavy Metal"
Signal drops are sometimes enough to sound like TCS is off, but it resurfaces to let me know it is not.
0103 38 Special "Rockin' into the Night"
0107 Springsteen again, "Born to Run"
0112 YL, presumably station ID but I couldn't make it out. OM with lute or something. Into Jackson Browne "Running on Empty"
0117 OM, station ID, into Boston "Don't Look Back"
0124 OM with email (tcsshortwave@gmail.com) and I think he sang "good night ladies"
0125 Ramones "We Want the Airwaves"
0128 OFF
Thanks for the show!
