My experiences have been very similar to Gary's. I get lots of carriers
but not a lot of audio. I hear little bits of audio when you guys are
reporting good audio on the same frequencies. Some of it may be a higher
noise floor at my house, but that's not necessarily the whole story.
It's not just limited to TAs. A few years ago you and Walt heard a DX
test on 960 from Ontario, which was a total no-show here, so it would
appear that Victoria has an advantage in that direction. On the surface,
the salt water path seems to be an advantage for you.

That's really interesting, Gary. I will not make any jokes about the
US border protection agency, and move directly into the realm of real
speculation.
Victoria city looks out over about 20-60km of salt water along the
bearings for Europe and the Middle East. I would have thought that
the fact that I'm 5 km or so from the water on those bearings would
negate that advantage, but perhaps there is more to learn. I think I
feel an experiment coming on: we have a park with about a 40m high
cliff (a little one, I know) facing out in a TA direction...
best wishes,
Nick

Great job with the new catches from the Middle East, Nick!
Unfortunately most of what is being reported in Victoria seems to be
held up at the border crossing. Some threshold audio on 864 showed up
here about an hour ago, but other than that it's just been carriers
at this challenged location.
