Re: [IRCA] TP 6 Oct Victoria version.

--- Begin Message --- 
Colin,

Thanks for the spectacular video and the kind words. Perhaps I should have just found a place to string a wire in Victoria instead of heading up island! I am keeping my fingers crossed here at the Tin Wis in Tofino. I took a quick mid-afternoon walk around the complex with the supercharged PL-380 and heard a high pitched whine across the entire MW band. The whine was not present on the stock Skywave. We shall see. Beautiful place! Hopefully the natural beauty will be enhanced by TP DX rolling in!

73,

Craig Barnes
