TCS Relay Service, 6930.3am
« on: December 13, 2011, 0209 UTC »
TCS Relay, 6930.3am, 12-13-11, SINPO 24322
Tuned in about 0136z to catch the end of Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down" at about S2.
Signal faded for a while, heard what sounded like a country song with a female singer about 0148z.
Nice signal upswing at 0156z for The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again".

0205z - "I'm the nurse who likes to fook" Ferris Buehler
0206z - TCS ID.

Given the frequency, I'm guessing this is NRS. Best signal I've ever had in Chicago for NRS if so. Usually just
a het with the occasional bit of music.

Had them here as well, also a pretty good signal for NRS. Peaked around 0210-0230.  ID at 0305z and then off.

I'm wondering if my time estimate for another log on 6930 AM was completely off.  Right around the time NRS was relaying shows I heard some odd stuff about "mothers and daughters", a song about people who don't like fruitcake, some CW and phonetic IDs.  Couldn't copy the IDs clearly enough, only heard a random scramble of Alpha, Romeo, Victor, others.
