Well, maybe this coming season,  Patrick, but the odd thing about 
that opening, and the one that followed in the spring, was that it 
was near the peak of the sunspot cycle.   But I think they could be 
described as last really good TA openings in the NW, comparable to 
the mid seventies and mid sixties...the winter of 1996 and last 
season were pretty nice, but they weren't delivering Turkey and 
Bulgaria and such, which 1980 did.  Of course, interference levels 
were lower then.


best wishes,

Nick
