[IRCA] TP for 30 Mar from Victoria, BC

2010-03-30 Thread Nick Hall-Patch
Another interesting morning, though I suspect signals may have peaked before 1330UT in between my listening at 1300 and after 1335UT. Again, erratic signals, not too much consistent strength, better upper band signals closer to 1400UT, and time pips on 1476 that I haven't had time to sort out yet.
