S7 here, but just fair copy - kind of noisy.  'Love Will Find A Way' by Yes @ 2259z
TCS ID 'on the TCS relay network' @ 2301, then into Lorelei by Styx @ 2302

Still about the same, fair copy @ 0008 with 'The Waiting' by Tom Petty

Nothing here, guess it's being heard mostly on the East Coast/Eastern US?

Correction: Just popped up out of the noise ... now playing Tom Petty .... S8 on the signal, a bit in the static but listenable.

Doors - Break on Through .... great jam!  Thanks for the show.

00:12 - fading back into the noise.  Looks like the band is shifting with the sun fully down in my area.

00:15 - Lost signal
