At 0111, the signal is at its best since I tuned in at 0056.  Occasional excursions to S9. 

The Eighties Sound program.

Crystal Ship, 6876 AM, 0058, 5/6/16.  Several 80's songs, 0120 "You are listening to 'the 80's sound' on the TCS shortwave relay network," more 80's songs.  By and large I make it a point not to be knowledgeable about 80's rock and pop, so I don't know these songs.

Fair signal, up to S9 at peaks.
