With S7 into Northern KY at 2355 UTC. SINPO 33233
2358 UTC "Announcement you are listening to the 80's sound on TCS"
2359 UTC "The Buggels - Video killed the radio star "
0003 UTC audio dropped completely
0042 UTC signal still challenging "Major Tom - English cover version"
0046 UTC ID - TCS
0047 UTC - Talk Talk - It's my life


The signal from the show on 12/05/14 at 0157 UTC, was stronger and stabler.
Still Happy to catch TCS two days in a row.

Thanks for the show TCS.

Little noisy tonight at around 0025z. Signal around S9. Variety of 80's new wave music.

Strong signal, but unlistenable due to local QRM from a bodyshop across the river. Some of their equipment puts out wideband hash from just above 6878 to roughly 6900 khz. when operating. It was going strong last night.
