Started with a strong carrier for several minutes.
Carrier got weaker and audio started.
2151 - "Satisfaction" by the Stones
2154 - "Heart Full Of Soul" by The Yardbirds
2157 - TCS ID and into "Help" by The Beatles. S6 to S7
2204 - Into "Down In The Boondocks".  Sudden fade, weak carrier and little to no audio.
2215 - faded back up to S6 with "I'll Be Doggone" by Marvin Gaye.  Then back into the noise.

2215 very nice signal given the conditions (sunset still about 90 minutes from now here). Music with OM vox and acoustic guitar. Wait, I think this is an AM harmonic. Hang on...
2218 Yes, unfortunately a nice fat harmonic is sitting right on this frequency. I have no chance of hearing TCS while this is here.  >:(

Good reception for the middle of the program on the random wire antenna and R71 receiver in the basement, but rather weak for the first and last parts, particularly the last.
