Gotta copy of the Lou Reed Show card also.  Additionally, I received one for the "Bringing It All Back Home" Show.



Thanks for both, Rave On!

Likewise, best o' luck, RS

I am fortunate to live just a couple of miles from a Fry's Electronics.  Essentially, it's just a bigger Best Buy, but it does have a pretty good parts department - about three long aisles worth.  It's nice to be able to get a CMOS gate or an NTE replacement transistor (my store seems to stock about 40-50% of the NTE line) without having to wait for an order.  They actually have stock of some the common Bud or Hammond enclosures,  which are generally an improvement over the RS cabs that deform in a stiff wind.

They only seem to be in about a dozen states, but are worth a checkout if there's one near you.

Also caught here at good level.

0359 The Specials - "A Message to You, Rudy"
0402 Eccentric Shortwave ID and off

As Sealord ment, it was hard to determine which songs in the previous broadcast stream were part of this show, and which were not. 
ER: Full audio is available via the link in my 'Apres TCS' post.

This is the first time I've been able to hear Eccentric Radio with an ID, so Thank You!
Your QSL would be sincerely appreciated.

A number of songs/transmissions heard last night after the TCS signoff.  I cannot say definitively what belongs to whom (and I don't want to guess), so this is a compressed recording of what was heard here between 0329 and 0406 UTC.  I have edited dead air down to approx 3 seconds silence, and have put it together as a single MP3.

18 June 2012
6925USB

0329 TCS off
0330 10YA - "I'd Love To Change the World" with 3 buzzes before and after.
0336 "Good Vibrations" parody
0343 "The Choice Is Yours"
0347 unid artist - "In the Presence of the Lord"
0355 Unid song
0359 The Specials - "A Message to You, Rudy"
0402 Eccentric Shortwave ID --  Thank You Eccentric Radio!
0403 Pesc QRM - this would be right where BOR was heard by Sealord; sorry Johnny!
0406 Op with a short comment

Audio:   http://www.mediafire.com/?bb7lace09tmyoqv

The Signal Strength History was not of any great help in determining what exactly was going on, and FWIW, this is what it looked like:



The TCS broadcast went off at about 2280 seconds in this plot, and subsequent broadcasts are to the left.

0507 Song, rock or dance w/ big drum beat, OM vocal

6930.08USB Audio is very decent!  Playing "Heartbreak Hotel", S9+7.  Off 0121z mid-song.

Audio:    http://www.mediafire.com/?2i62rxwxh89edam

The following vaguely resembles truth, as my wife was have a conversation with me while I was jotting down notes.  Hopefully I can get some better info tomorrow when I review the audio, and I hope I didn't agree to anything I'll regret while I wasn't listening...

Someone back here on 6930.08USB with Jerry Reed - "Eastbound and Down" S9+5 from 0225 - 0226.
Someone back here on 6930.08AM with headbanger tune S9+10 from 0229 - 0231.

Thanks!
