Playing Nirvana at tune-in at 0029 UTC.  Decent audio quality, right now signal strength S3 to S4 with strong static crashes QRN and some minor ute QRM on the LSB (around 6867 kHz or so).  The Crystal Ship ID at 0030 UTC.

Signal improved substantially with Bob Segar song around 0037 UTC.  Still some static crashes and fading but TCS is now a solid S5 signal.

0108 UTC - Tom Petty - American Girl, wavering around S4-S5.  Signal went up a lot right before this song started, but then dropped right back down

Hearing The Poet tonight at 01:07UTC signal is fair and their is noise on the frequency there is music but it is been hard to get a  test of who is singing. Conditions are not good tonight!

Saw the carrier come up, but no audio noted for a half hour so started an SDR Recording.  I did note some JBA mx around 0150 in high storm noise.

Shucky dern!
