[IRCA] TPs yet again -- best morning yet in DC

[Marc DeLorenzo <midcapemarc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Japan-747 & 774 also heard this morning around 1100 UTC  by Chris Black, N1CP,  here on Cape Cod.  He sent me the audio clips and they are very impressive!  Armchair copy, no headphones needed!

After the TAs faded out, the TPs faded in!  [ I've always wanted to say that! ] 

Still digging for some audio on 945 and 873kHz, but finally got audio on 747 and 774kHz -- not as good as Bruce Conti's sample, but still ... 

747kHz, female in JJ:

774kHz, male in JJ, not as 'strong' as 747:

[ this one's approaching what Ed Shaw used to call 'imagination level modulation.'  I had better audio but having to crank in a file name when doing 'live' Perseus recording delays things just enough to miss things like ... audio on TPs! ] 

747 and 774kHz were just 'traces' on the waterfall until about 1100utc, then peaked around 1120utc and were still 'visible' as traces at 1145utc -- past sunrise. 

945, 873 and 828kHz were steady but weak traces early on [0900utc] and 'peaked' earlier ... around 1015utc.  I may have audio on one or more of these, not sure.  All those hours spent listening to CNR programming on top of VOA Chinese in hotel rooms across China may come in handy! 

More later ... there were 'traces' on the Perseus waterfall on several other freqs in the 700-950kHz range between 11-1130utc.
