I'm glad, Steve that you made these comments.  Unfortunately the last couple of days, I've been sleeping in until after 13:30.  This morning I listened  from 13:53 and didn't hear a single TP audio, so I thought it must have been a very poor morning.  You can imagine my surprise when I realized that everyone else was giving a big thumbs up to reception this morning.  Moral of the story....get up before dawn! .......Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
