The Crystal Ship 3424.8 AM 0031 UTC 3/3/17
« on: March 03, 2017, 0031 UTC »
S7 with "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys.
0038 - "I Want To Hold Your Hand".  Audio seems a little distorted (overmodulated or maybe some odd conditions).
0039 - TCS Relay Network ID
0040 - "Midnight Confessions".  Sounds a little better since I switched to SAM mode.  Some barber-poling visible on the waterfall.
0108 - still S7 with "Hooked On A Feeling".  Sounding better, selective fading has disappeared.
0114 - ID and then "Galveston"
0121 - "I Wish It Would Rain" by Temptations.  S7 to S9.
0143 - "You Showed Me" by The Turtles.  S7 to S9
0200 - "Something" by The Beatles.  S9 with occasional deep fades.
0215 - "Just Like A Woman" - Bob Dylan
0223 - off

Thanks for the show!

Stayed home today feeling under the weather and tune in on 90 meters to catch The Crystal Ship doing their "Good Vibrations" show from what it sounds like. Signal is all over the place from nothing at all to a S6 at peaks but seems to be hanging out a S5. Caught ID at 0103. Thanks JP for making the day much better! :)
