Re: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 23 September 2017



Stunning catch with 6RN on an otherwise lousy morning. Here in IL, not even
trace Aussie audio. V7AB audible 1128 with gal in lang into mx that ended
1131. Presumed Tonga carrier decent on 1017 during same time frame and
somewhat earlier. At a level that should've pushed past slop but I don't
think these guys have the modulation oomph that Marshalls does. I think
Tonga is often on past normal 1100 s/off Sat. nights, but anyhow, they
remain unlogged here.  73 KAZ
