Re: [IRCA] TP seasonality

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

One note to add to Gary's analysis....we may have somewhat of a path 
to DU  in Victoria, but in fact the Seattle area DXers did a lot 
better on the Chinese signals this fall than we did....our water path 
from China ends over 400km away over mountainous terrain...theirs may 
not be large (Puget Sound) but it is nearby!

best wishes,

Nick
