[IRCA] TP DX for 21 Sept

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Overall, conditions were markedly better than they have been. Except for 
JOIB-747, the Japanese stations were worse than normal. However, several 
Chinese were better than normal.

Alaskans were impressive at times, due in part to having an antenna with 
a 20 dB front-to-back ratio.  It does a nice job reducing the 
co--channel stations on 750 and 850


The Good - listenable audio for at least a brief period of time
