Re: [IRCA] TPs July 20 from Orcas Island: Average to Good

[WALTER SALMANIW <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

John, checking in from Seattle, WA.  No listening, but might squeeze a bit in from the OR coast.  I only started the TP listening later last summer (towards the end of August).  Back then, I did note some mornings to have a half dozen Kiwis, often at good (8) strength including 756 and my favourite, 1386.  Not sure whether this contributes anything....just an observation..........Walt.
