Re: [IRCA] Feb 9, 2018 Morning TP's

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

I don't know Gary.   That was a pretty strong reception of HLCA by 
Victoria standards.   I recall that you heard Asians pretty well when 
you listened regularly for them, and that you usually heard Chinese 
and Koreans better than I hear them in Victoria.    There's this big 
block of stone called Vancouver Island that might just attenuate the 
signal on its final approach to my antenna.   Puget Sound may be preferable,hi.


best wishes,


Nick
