For what it's worth, I have read Nigel's impressive reports from southern Alberta in amazement. The regularity of TPs and TAs he receives amazes me as his location is quite far inland, as is mine. The consistency with which he receives DUs is also noteworthy. Although living adjacent to the Rocky Mountains possibly inhibits TP reception by blocking some of the low angle signals, it seems that latitude may play a role as well.Â
