[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 10 Oct 2008 (Japan all the way!)

[njp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   With the A and K at zero I thought it would be a good morning for a
trip to the beverage site.  The solar indices weren't the only numbers
that were low, as it was -7C out there, the coolest morning of fall
thus far.  Apparently you guys on the coast were sucking all the
Chinese DX out of the ionosphere, as there certainly wasn't any to be
had here.   It was still a good morning here, but almost purely Japan. 
 Of the 23 channels on which I noted TP audio 19 of them were Japanese.
 The exceptions were Korea on 1566 (good for about 20 minutes) and
China on 1206 (only quite briefly).  Japanese signals were noted on 531
(though weaker than it often is),
567,594,693,702,747,774,828,873,1089,1134,1179,1188,1197,1242,1269,1287,
1386,and 1422.  Also unIDs on 891 (quite likely Japanese) and 1116.   Also
noted DU signals on 612,639,738, and 1116.

Unlike most days this season the bottom part of the band was not favoured.
 531 was much weaker than it usually is on good days, and 666 never even
made audio level.  On the other hand the 1000-1300 khz range had one of
it's best days of the season.  Hearing any TP audio on 1269 is a first for
me, and 1242 was at it's best level of the season.
