[IRCA] TP DX for 10-2-10

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Conditions seemed to be mixed this morning.  It started out quite dull 
but got better towards the end.

The big NHK stations were way down, except for brief peaks on 747 & 
774.   Some Chinese signals were much better than normal, as was Taiwan 
738.   For some reason, 738 is a regular for Gary but not for me.  The 
upper band never came alive except for 1566, but other parts of the band 
were good for brief periods, starting at the lower frequencies and 
working up to midband just before things collapsed at about 1410.

The highlight of the morning was  VOA-1170 Philippines  with a woman in 
presumed Cantonese mentioning voanews.com at 1359 behind semi-local 
KPUG.  That's one I haven't yet heard at Grayland and easily my best 
catch so far this season.
