Not a bad signal into eastern Pennsylvania, but the noise from thunderboomers makes it difficult to understand the words at times.

Getting  the TCS here also with a S7-8 and good audio but getting hammered by approaching storms and also suffering a bit with some deep fading. Thanks for the 80's show TCS and the Relay for broadcasting it. Note, the Relay is testing out a new antenna per JP.

Just a very weak carrier on the west coast, so far. Still almost 3 hours before my sunset though....

Tuned in at 0132utc, fair/poor/static, rock and pop from 1980's, R2000 & 7mhz dipole.
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Making it into Michigan with a 3+43+ SIO --- Thuderstorm static is brutal tonight, but the signal is strong enough to make it less bothersome.

Playing the theme to "Real Genius" (a GREAT movie!) and now with Human League's "Don't You Want Me Baby" at 0144, an ID at :47 and
into a tune with a heavy electronic music intro.

Hope the thunder stays at bay enough to make this listenable!
DXing *either* from:
MI -- South Central Lower Michigan with a 25 m randomwire and a LOT of local noise!
or
MI2 -- the tip of Michigan's Thumb with a 100 metre longwire and much quieter conditions.  Radios can be either an SPR-4 or IC-R71A or SDRplay

The Crystal Ship heard here in Nebraska  on 6876 AM from 0142-0204, May 28. Heavy static levels and incoming storm made copy very difficult.  Did manage to catch IDs around 0148 and 0200.  Reception further hampered by a nearby het forcing reception in LSB.  Hopefully, better conditions here next time.
Just a boy with his radio and some wire.
Location: Omaha, Nebraska
QSLs always appreciated.
