Re: [IRCA] TAs from the WCNA

TA's are in Northern Alberta most afternoons starting an hour or so before 
local sunset and then fading down into the noise around sunset. Most of the 
time very few have any audio, tho the carriers show quite clearly on the 
Perseus waterfall display. Today was very much different with the first TA 
(1422-Germany) showing up at 13:20 MST (20:20UTC) At that time of day the 
sun here is only 30 minutes or so past it's zenith so it was real early for 
a TA. In all I had around 30 or so with audio plus about the same number of 
carriers before they faded down around sunset. Most were European in origin 
with only a couple from the middle east. Some hadn't been heard here in 
years, like 945 & 711 from France and others were regulars like 1134-Croatia 
and UK-1215. Two frequencies, 855 and 1152, each had 2 stations fighting for 
dominance. The beauty of owning a Perseus is the ability to record the whole 
band while listening to one particular frequency. The downside is the huge 
files it produces and the time it takes to run thru them all. I still wading 
thru them.
