Those interested in this topic might check IRCA reprint F56 
(commercial break once again; I'm always quoting reprints:  contact 
Lee Freshwater for obtaining all IRCA reprints on a CD).  In 1982, 
Bruce Portzer and I with assistance from Roy, Ken Brownless of Medium 
Wave Circle, and Richard Eckman put together a listing of all known 
TA receptions in West Coast North America, and attempted some 
explanations for  them...it still makes good reading if I do say so 
myself.   Quotes Bob Foxworth on possible dawn receptions of TAs too....

best wishes,

Nick
