[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on 24 Sept

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions below 1000 kHz were good today, with lots of second tier 
stations. Most were from Japan, but a few Korean and Chinese signals 
were there as well.

There wasn't much to be heard above 1200. Even HLAZ struggled. The one 
exception was CRI-1323 which had a blowtorch signal that almost 
penetrated some very high electrical noise (which fortunately wasn't 
heard elsewhere on the dial).
