Playing "lesser known" Petty tracks.  Guessing this is a replay of a TCS show from a while back.

0107 eBeastiality.au and Donner Pass Diner spots
0148 ID by Juliana Montana, Quint, Ramones

About an S8 here; thanks TCS!

01:35 faint carrier on 6950, barely audible audio  SIO-222
A bit better audio recovery in AM mode.

One this I noted last night was that usually an AM station leaks over to a few other frequnecy from the back and in the front. But last night there was no leakage in the back at all! And it was booming In here so its not because it was weak. Were they using some sort of surpressed side AM mode?

A couple of posters above noted steady props or only minor fading; here's what TCS propagation into Chicago looked like last night.  A little turbulent at the front end, but then WOW!
