Thanks for the interesting analysis!  I agree that it appears I was not 
getting any northern TP signals - although I was skipping through the 
channels rather quickly, it's unlikely that I would miss all of the big JJ 
signals.  And it's entirely possible that my 1566 was not HLAZ, despite the 
apparent carrier frequency match-up.  I should also mention that some 
channels that would likely otherwise appear in my list are MIA due to local 
signals or local narrowband noise sources (you've heard some of those in my 
LA recordings, and they're worse than ever!)... one example is 1098, which 
was completely blotto here at the time.
