The Crystal Ship via TCS relay network, 6925.5am, 2-19-13, 000z
« on: February 19, 2013, 0019 UTC »
TCS via relay, 6925.5am, 2-19-13, SINPO 45343
Nice S9 signal and clear audio. Some static crash from an approaching front.

Sign on at 0000z,
ID at 0015z
Asia - Heat of the Moment - 0016z

Big fade at 0021z, signal dropping to the noise floor. Apparently, I've lost the band.

...or maybe not. Signal back to S9 at 0049z with Bruce Springsteen.

Fair reception in SE PA with static crashes and an ever present noise level.  Signal is cutting through though.

SINPO= 35333

SIO 323 here, muito static and static crashes.  I definitely get the carrier, but the music's weak.  Grumble.  Thanks for the relay, though.

Here's the SSTV picture. Note that there was no VIS trigger heard, so I had to manually start the image receive. The signal was pretty strong, so I don't think this was due to poor reception.
