I have a trace carrier at 6876.16 kHz, but that's it. Hope you play later, say after 0200 UTC when I have a better chance of copying you! It's been a while since I last heard TCS.

Good S7-S9 signal in pretty heavy QRN. "C'mon Eileen" Reminds me of watching "Friday Night Videos" & hoping I could hear some pirates. Now "Hungry Like the Wolf," which brings back the same memories

6876.2, 0110, 5.29.18.  After parking a receiver on 6976 for quite a while, TCS started to come in at 0110 and quickly built to S7 - 8, 0119 ID.

Hrd here in northern MI on 6876.16 in AM mode with tons of static (no storms nearby however) and deep fades from 0125 onwards.  TCS ID and mention of 1985 at 0132.  Signal seems to be increasing in strength with less fading at 0140.

Pse e-QSL.

0130:  Barely audible in western Chicago suburbs.
0132: ID???
0133: Salt in My Tears????  Barely above the noise.

Bummer I couldn't pull it in better.

'Head over heels' was early in the show....

And if you keep saying that stuff about Belinda,
there could be a Belinda Marathon headed your way...

You don't scare me, I've got to hose her and her tank down every day. I'm immune to her wailing. Who do you think got her tune on that Progressive commercial?

Now if you'll excuse me, Flo is coming over for a late dinner.

SDR Recording and a very late log due to being in/out of town.

I could generally see the carrier throughout the entire show, with trace audio being the norm.  Signal peaked up to about an S4 with nice audio around 0110 during "Hungry Like the Wolf", but it subsided back to JBA after a short time.

Thanks Poet!
