3/10/2013, 6930 kHz USB,

0123 UTC The Crystal Ship, TCS opening,
into Iron Butterfly In-a-gadda-da-vita (full version)

SINPO=34343

Fairly steady S-5 or S-6 in Lansing MI, not much fading, somewhat noisy conditions.

This is the 'TCS Rock 'n Roll Art Show', which you'll probably get from the IDs...
when the Iron Butterfly finally finishes....

0144  'Procession/The Story in your eyes', The Moody Blues.  Nice fadeup to S-7 here
0208-  Solid S-9 here during 'In the court of the crimson king' and earlier


(A great big THANK YOU to my relayer, when you read this!  GREAT work tonight!)

Usual adjacent channel AM QRM here on 6930.40, but otherwise a real nice signal by the TCS Relay Station into NE Ohio.

Heard this TCS program as well, about S3 via east coast web tuner and S1-S2 through regional t-storm noise on home receiver.  One of the few broadcasts I've been able to hear on the home receiver this year.

Did TCS go off at 02:55? I heard it go off, then some station with a program which had something to do with Russia (singing the national anthem in English, for example) then TCS came back on until 04:34. It ended with two SSTV images. I caught only the bottom of the second one, the "Unchained" logo. I had the show S9 for about two hours into central Utah.

The first broadcast ended then another relay station came on immediately after and played another TCS show called Unchained...there is another thread regarding the second broadcast...
