Re: [IRCA] Marginal 531 Audio at 0440

Thanks, Nick.

After reading the multiple posts about "armchair copy" of TA's in Victoria last night around 0440 UTC I finally got envious enough to head out into the RFI-noise-troubled back yard and try my luck on one of the "armchair copy" frequencies (531) with a 5" FSL.
Much to my surprise the RFI could be completely nulled, and the tiny antenna actually pulled in presumed TA audio on 531 around 0440-- marginal copy of a cheery-voiced YL for a few seconds, along with a male voice possibly from the SeaTac Airport TIS station on 530 https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/zalmsexc1d9rmiyv8ne09awvipjg4jct
Definitely not enough evidence to claim any logging, but maybe enough evidence to try again during better conditions? :-)
