Similar story here - 1215 just made it into audio.1386, 1413 aren't far off on peaks. Other carriers noted on 693, 909, 1008, 1089, 1305, 1314. You guys out west never seem to mention 1413, which is often the strongest TA here. Just a case of too much 1410? 73, Nigel Pimblett

Nothing to get too excited over, but am noticing TA carriers tonight for the first time since the geomagnetic event. 1413 is the only consistent one (it has usually been my best bet this season), but have also had carriers on 1179, 1386 and 1215 at times. None are threatening to break into
