[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on Sept 16

[Bruce Portzer]

What a difference a day makes.  Yesterday was such a dud I didn't bother 
reporting the results.  Today was the other extreme, with lots of TP 
signals all over the dial.  I might have been ale to pull a few ore out 
of the noise but I've already spent most of my evening listening to SDR 
recordings.  This was by far the best TP opening so far this season.

[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on Sept 16

[Bruce Portzer]

Low-band Asians were quite weak today, with a small number of pathetic 
little carriers barely poking above the noise.  The middle and upper 
parts of the dial fared a bit better.  There was audio on a few 
channels, although none were particularly impressive.


There were also a few Alaskans.  KNOM and KICY made their first 
appearances of the season, and KFQD briefly gave the Portland station a 
run for its money.



GOOD - I could understand most of it for a brief period
750KFQD, PSA, KFQD news time 5:13, Anchorage weather, more IDs 
1313 mixing with KTXJ


FAIR - A native speaker would have understood a few words
780KNOM, ID mixing with KKOH 1300, then ABC news by both stations 
with slight echo between them

850KICY, Christian music  partial ID mixing with KHHO 1300
972HLCA, man and woman in Korean among much splatter 1320
1566   HLAZ, Piano music  Japanese talk 1327
1575VOA, Yankee Doodle  English ID 1330, then woman in Khmer

POOR - A native speaker would have said forget it
981Occasional syllables in the CKNW splatter 1328, probably CNR1
1287Phone conversation 1328, probably Japan
1323Woman in presumed Russian 1324, probably CRI
