Hello all. Back in Alberta (a day late thanks to a snowstorm) after my trip to Ontario, and after a lacklustre TP effort this morning, am pleased to see some TA action this afternoon. Audio noted on 999, 1044, 1089, 1134, 1179, 1215, 1341, 1395 (reactivated from Holland) , 1422 1449, 1467,

After a slow start this evening conditions seem to have picked up with TA audio noted on 531, 855, 675, 864, 981, 1134, 1575.   864 is Armenia rather than France, and 855 appears to be Romania.  981 sounded Arabic, but is Algeria not gone from there?   Good to the east also as Montreal was
