2220 UTC Music mostly at or below threshold level, some nice fade-ups to above the noise floor
(There was an X8 flare earlier! Surprised to hear anything...)
2230 UTC OM with "Cluck Cluck Cluck", followed by possible Black Sabbath tune (noise level is making things really rough)
2235 UTC "Doctor My Eyes"-Jackson Browne
2248 UTC Thanks for the shoutout!

Listening in from Cable, Ohio remotely from Toronto

Yeah Cluck Cluck Cluck heard at 2249 S7, Channel ID and acknoledgement of forum members, thanks!

Could we hear live every moment by reo speedwagon? Gotta stay with the Jackson Browne theme, so maybe "Stay"?

2252: S5/S6 Late For the Sky by Jackson Browne, good audio for listening

2302: S6 Stay by Jackson Browne, so humbled to get a request on a pirate radio station, thank you so much!

2304: S6 Audible SSTV transmission, didnt have decoder up in time, send again in 10 OM?

2306: S6 Still of the Night by Whitesnake

2312: S6 Slow annnnnn' Easy by Whitesnake

2320: S6 RickNMorty SSTV (alignment shit), followed by strange windy transmission and noises.



2325: S5 Eye of the Storm by Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, very underground song

2333: S6 Cant identify song, "Make me feel alright" repeated lyric

2339: S6 "Cluck Cluck Cluck, lots going on in the coop, heres some Thin Lizzy" Followed by Jailbreak

2352: S6 SSTV received while AFK, now playing How Soon Is Now by The Smiths



2359: Cluck Cluck, bouncing off the ionosphere, Thunder Chicken Radio ID, signed off.

Thanks for the show TCR, see you next time, bring some REO!

Via a recording.  Weak and unusable here.  SSTV in Martin 1 at 2303 and 2349 started and stopped but never got going.  The only clear copy I had was "Happy Trails," the "From the Barnyard...Thunder Chicken Radio," and the closing Thunder.

Usually TCR has a very respectable signal, but not last (14 May) night.
