I did some experiments with this theory (with Nick as well) in 1994 and 1995 during one particularly good season where TA's were audible at my location 1.35 km from the waterfront in Victoria B.C. (on Cook Street) sometimes early in the afternoon.
Cook Street, in Victoria B.C., terminated on Dallas Road -- and although not a true coastal location, it did exhibit unusual characteristics during the occasional "walk down" to the waterfront. The problem with this method of observation was, as I changed location, signal levels definitely ebbed and flowed but without simultaneous and synchronous signal readings being taken from fixed points along the route, the observations were merely anecdotal and curious. I noticed a similar pattern as I drove inland, one season, to a mini beverage site daily over a couple of weeks - that signals seemed to rise and fall, across the entire band with some predictability. Here in 2012 it is good to see the group pursue this theory and supposition with a bit more technology and ability to extract some more scientific metrics. Colin Newell - Victoria B.C.
