Re: [IRCA] TP 12 Jan Victoria version

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

What's interesting about this visit (from Kona) is the complete lack of West Coast stations-- not sure if the doldrums effect the E-W path to WCNA.

This AM was the epitome of blah -- with a couple of huge standouts that defied explanation. All Chinese. 

At this hour, audio on 540, 621, 1098 - assuming all Island stations.
