Last night was phenomenal for TA reception, at least for me here in North Alabama. I got amazing audio from Spain-684 and France-1206. S9 at times for both of these. What made this unusual was the fact that the A index was 5, and the K was 1. While good, I usually don't get TA reception like this unless both indices are around 1 for a couple of days.
Also, two new TA's with Spain-855 and France-945. Not as strong, but still quite readable at times. To give an indication of who strong the signals were, I usually have to use the 2.3 kHz filter on my R-8 to be able to determine if there's any audio present. However, last night, all signals were strong enough that I only had to use the 4 kHz filter. I know there's lots of guys in the Northeast and/or on the East Coast who get this stuff all the time, but TA audio is not the regular occurrence for me, being so far away from the ocean. Strong carriers on 567 (presumed Ireland), and 1044 (presumed Morocco) last night as well, but no audio. The 567 carrier does well here quite often, so I feel that bagging Ireland is only a matter of time. 73, J.D.
