Re: [IRCA] coastal TAs...

For unknown reasons 1521 has never been a big player here in southern 
Alberta.     The only time I've heard it was in the glory days of 
2009.    I've certainly tried many times when I've read about it doing 
so well further east, but generally I either hear a very feeble carrier, 
or none at all.
