The Crystal Ship 6925 USB 0150z Oct 2, 2012

Stepped out of the room, and there was nothing on 6925. Came back and heard Yo Ho Ho and A Bottle of Rum. Very strong signal, almost no fading.
0151z - Sounds like something from a 1950s musical.
0153z - Station ID, The Crystal Ship.

SIO 243, deep fades

0150 Russian N/A, TCS via TCS Relay Network ID
0152 "Ring My Bell", "Creole Lady Marmalade", "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"
0212 Donner Pass Diner
0220 Signal almost gone now.

Started overnite recording at 0230; by 0240 TCS was coming in well again.  Got to hear even more awful 70's music!

Thanks TCS and thanks to the relay!

Pretty good S-5 signal into north Canada. Always a pleasure to hear one of Pirate Radios heroes. Thanks for the relay, whoever is responsible.
