Re: [IRCA] Alberta TPs for 1 Dec 2010

[Saul DX <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I note that someone commented the TP season seemed to be over. I know fall 
is a very good time for AM DX, but I've had some of my best DX in the winter 
and well into April. Is there something about TP reception from the west 
coast that tends to make it best from early-mid fall? or was this just 
disappointment at recent cx (which have also stunk at BR the last few 
weeks - I can't speak for this past week as I've been in Toronto and not 
DXed).
