[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on April 2

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm somewhat in agreement with everyone else. The bottom half of the 
band was downright miserable today, but the upper half was a bit better 
(let's call it somewhat below average).

What I assume was Taiwan made another surprise cameo appearance at the 
end of the session. I also had brief audio from the Chinese station on 
1116, which is starting to become a regular here. Those two were about 
the only two bright spots this morning.

693ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JOAB, 1333 Chinese lesson fair-poor

747ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JOIB, 1313 woman talking //774, barely audible

774ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JOUB, 1313 fair woman in Japanese, apparently part of the 
usual English lesson

972ÂÂÂ S KOREA, 1333 fair w/pop song and Korean discussion

981ÂÂÂ CHINA, CNR1, 1322 Chinese talk poor

1116ÂÂÂ CHINA, unid, 1322 woman in Chinese briefly audible fair-poor

1323ÂÂÂ CHINA, CRI (presumed) 1310 bits of talk, Russian-like inflections

1422ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JORF, 1338 fair-poor easy listening songs & woman in Japanese

1557ÂÂÂ TAIWAN?, 1337-1341 woman in Chinese peaking late. I didn't have 
a carrier here until 1330, by 1337 it was as strong as 1566, by 1342 it 
was gone

1566ÂÂÂ S KOREA, HLAZ 1240 best signal of the morning, woman good in 
Japanese, otherwise fair-poor today

1575ÂÂÂ THAILAND, VOA 1300, English signoff like the one I heard 
yesterday, except today the signal was faint
