I had to look 'CONOP' up, but northbound traffic from EGNX would be climbing against traffic descending into the MTMA with different altimeter settings......Nice.

Fortunately, 21 years later, ASRs are alive and well, and said meteorologist still has a job.
Do you really think RPS' are still calculated by a human?
