My experiences have been very similar to Gary's. I get lots of carriers 
but not a lot of audio.ÂÂ I hear little bits of audio when you guys are 
reporting good audio on the same frequencies. Some of it may be a higher 
noise floor at my house, but that's not necessarily the whole story.

It's not just limited to TAs. A few years ago you and Walt heard a DX 
test on 960 from Ontario, which was a total no-show here, so it would 
appear that Victoria has an advantage in that direction. On the surface, 
the salt water path seems to be an advantage for you.
