Re: [IRCA] Alberta TP/DUs for 27 Sep 2012

Very true Gary, comparing current TPs to the 2007-2009 period would be a 
good recipe for long term depression.   It's still fun to compare the 
day to day variations, and the odd pleasant surprise does turn up.   
Actually, I must say reception has exceeded my low expectations for this 
part of the solar cycle.   And yes, chasing TPs so far from the 
invigorating sea air is certainly a challenge, but as long as every day 
isn't like yesterday, still a fun one.

73,

Nigel

I guess the key to enjoying the daily morning TP chase is to have low expectations in view of the current solar cycle, and be thankful for whatever pleasant surprises it offers. Comparing the current conditions to what we enjoyed 3 or 4 years ago is not going to provide a very high level of hobby satisfaction!
