Hi Colin,

morning on the West Coast of Vancouver Island.

Yes, B.C. always seems to have a clear edge for TA reception, and Oregon seems to have a clear edge for DU's. But Washington state certainly has a clear edge to both areas in mediocrity.

Don't forget that Nick and I once listened to Norway
