0134 UTC with TCS ID...."The Beat Goes On", into "Glad All Over"-Dave Clark Five with S6 signal in the noise on 6975.9ish AM
"Friday On My Mind"-Easybeats (Fair amount of static and selective fading this evening JP! About the same level as XLR8 here on 6955U)
0150 UTC "Love Potion #9" (frequency seems to be almost dead on 6876 now :))
0158 UTC Signal seems to be drifting up past 6876 during "She's Not There"-Zombies
0212 UTC Signal up to about 6876.1 during "A Boy Named Sue"...still S6/S7 here
0238 UTC Frequency seems to have stabilised somewhere between 6876 and 6876.1......S7 still amidst the static
0258 UTC "This Diamond Ring"-Gary Lewis & Playboys with S6 signal and the meter bouncing around a lot now....
0306 UTC "Tell Her No" followed by "Spill The Wine"-Eric Burdon & War (Still S6 peaks fading down occasionally into the noise floor)

Catching The Crystal Ship sailing in here with only a S7 hanging just above the storm static making it really hard to listen to. ID at 0134. "Glad All Over" after ID. Happy Memorial Day and thanks for the show JP and Relayer. Hope the signal gets better! :-\

Sounded like song "All My Loving" ~ 0138.  Signal is relatively weak. Best heard @ my location in USB due to noise levels.
A tough station to hear tonight.
Just a boy with his radio and some wire.
Location: Omaha, Nebraska
QSLs always appreciated.

Tuned in at 0159utc, poor at noise level, hearing Linda R singing "different drum", Drake R8 & dipole, tcsshortwave@gmail.com
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

Slowly fading into something here in central lower MI, with "A Boy Named Sue" at 0213 computer voiced
id at :16 and into "Wild Thing"

S8 signal, SINPO 3+43+42+ between my local QRM and the static ... almost listenable.  73!  
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

QSLs appreciated! radioguy73@gmail.com
