1/12/11, 6928 USB, 0044z: Just tuned in after seeing Sealord's log, hearing Alice Cooper "No More Mister Nice Guy".
0050z: Obi-Wan's line "If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can
possibly imagine."  TCS ID, TCS Relay Network, Donner Pass Diner ad, eBeastiality.com ad.
0053z: Fan mail from CB, Henry Rollins "Liar"
0055z: The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again"
0105z: Tarzan yell, anatomy lesson, ID from the Radical, arguing with sockpuppets, "Puppet Man"
0108z: "What's that smell?" audio cutup, O'Jays "Backstabbers"
0125z: Weird Al ebay spoof song; "I Want a Stalker"; Commander Bunny voice endorsing Free Radio Cafe; Marlon Brando's "Cry havoc!" Marc Antony monologue from Julius Caesar, Pink Floyd "Dogs of War"
0140z: Off after "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night", not sure if the latter was part of TCS show

SINPO=33423, fair to good, roller coaster fades and peaks.  Audio seems good during peaks.

1/12/2012, 6928 kHz USB, via High Plains Relay Service
TCS Shortwave Relay Network show.

0048- 'Not Ready to Make Nice' Dixie Chicks,
0051 ID, into "where's the beef? It's NOT at the Donner Pass Diner" ad,
and eBeastiality.com ad

0053, Commander Bunny's sockpuppet apology, into
"Won't get fooled again"- The Who
(gosh, whatever could I have meant by that)

SINPO=35333 Initially.
Signal seems to be improving as we go along...
Peaking S-9 at 0100 UTC, S=45344

Band seems kinda noisy.
THANKS to OP! this is via High Plains Relay Service.

Late to the party, but a smokin' signal here at 0110 w/ "Backstabbers"
S9+10, SIO 545

Signal was fading a bit around the BOH, but back up to S9+20 at 0136 during "We Want the Airwaves"
0142 "You were gone, gone, gone..."

Thanks Poet and HPRS!

Not super  strong, but clean levels here in New Smyrna, off the SDR-IQ and SquirelTenna. http://corqswl.posterous.com/crystal-ship-relay-6928usb-pirateradio SIO 434. Wav only. Brief recording of the Yankovic tune.

Viva La TCS, and thank you Mister Relay Man!
