[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on Tuesday 10-17

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions this morning were impressive, with the best TP reception in 
many months. Carriers were present on nearly all 9 kHz channels below 
1000, with audio on many of them. It wasn't quite as good above 1000, 
but conditions were still above average. TPs on 711 and 819 managed to 
briefly get a few syllables of audio past my strong locals on 710 and 
820. Several Alaskans also made a showing.
