Crystal Ship, 6876 AM, 0058, 5/6/16.  Several 80's songs, 0120 "You are listening to 'the 80's sound' on the TCS shortwave relay network," more 80's songs.  By and large I make it a point not to be knowledgeable about 80's rock and pop, so I don't know these songs.

Fair signal, up to S9 at peaks.

S-8 and good audio quality here in N. Alabama w/ music by The Cars, After The Fire, Psychedelic Furs, Gary Numan and more great 80's New Wave music.

I always appreciate the U.S. Pirates who put on a good show like this!

Tuned in at 0118Z to The Human League - yay!  Signal fair to good onto the isthmus with the aforementioned THL, Flock of Seagulls, 'Here In My Car', and at least one song I didn't recognize.  Donner Pass Diner spoof ad at around 0130Z, which made me say ewwwww! :P 

Thanks for the show!

SDR Recorder Catch

Carrier visible during the entire show, but audio capture was only during intermittent peaks.  I was able to ID several songs including Love My Way, Whip It, Blinded Me w/ Science, Turning Japanese, and Tainted Love.

Thanks for the show, TCS and Relay!
