Re: [IRCA] France-1206 stromg audio in MN 0335 UTC!

1206 is often the 2nd best TA here in IL, sounding armchair at times. 1134 is stronger still, in general, but you in MN are blasted by a local, and the some of guys in the Pac NW have Vancouver to hammer 1130, 1206 in general is better than anything I can get on 1215 (usually UK/Spain mix).
