[IRCA] not much TP for 11 Dec from Victoria, BC

2008-12-11 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Checked several times this morning starting at 1420UT, and suspect that the strongest signals may have been before then, as things never got any stronger. And things weren't that great to start with No really good audios; 774 and 828 came closest. 639 with poorish audio seemed to be Fiji.
