[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on October 1

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Overall, this was a pretty good morning. The highlight was hearing 
JOHB-1089 through the local 1090 splash. There were also several second 
tier Chinese stations checking in, with 918 and 981 putting in their 
best signals so far this season. I remembered to listen for Alaskans 
today and heard KICY & KBBI, plus possible audio from KDLG KFQD and KNOM.

558ÂÂÂ S KOREA, 1345 pop songs //603 weak

594ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JOAK, 1300 already very good w/Japanese woman, pips at 
ToH, then start of next program

I've heard this one in quite a while
