Re: [IRCA] TA Early Warning System

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What's needed is not for guys who commonly get TA's and who live where they 
are routine to be posting everynight when they get basic TA's but to post 
when they have a dial full of them, or superb reception to a specific area. 
Here in the midwest, I won't make mention of hets and threshold audios from 
a few regulars, but if I see really good cx..ie a dial full of weak audios 
and carriers/hets. I'll certainly say something. If I catch the occasional 
really good mideast opening I'll say something , although these don't last 
long due to sunrise, and I DX from my fields and may not come in to post. If 
I catch an awesome Spanish opening (not so uncommon) where I have two 
different nets showing up on a couple channels..etc, I'll say something 
since these cx may last to 0600 GMT+ which is normally a couple hours after 
I go to bed, but others may get a few new things.
