Conditions today were down slightly from  yesterday, especially at the 
upper end of the dial.  Several Chinese regional stations continue to 
poke their heads above the noise, but not far enough to hear IDs.

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on 26 Sept

[Bruce Portzer]

Conditions were quite good today, possibly the best of the season 
here.   The Japanese were a bit below the levels of the past few days, 
but Koreans and Chinese made up for it.  972 and 1566 were particularly 
impressive.


There were plenty of carriers on intriguing channels like 792 1089 1098 
1116 1179 and 1314, so I'm hoping the upward trend will continue.
