[IRCA] TP DX for Wednesday 9-25

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions improved quite a bit today compared to the mediocre 
conditions earlier in the week.  Things were still a bit unstable, with 
some stations producing decent signals for only brief periods. HLAZ for 
example was in well for just a few minutes.

Several channels tantalized me with traces of talk that never quite 
broke through - 918 936 and 1044 come to mind.  China 1206 and Japan 702 
produced their best audio of the season.  A  few carriers, such as 819 
864 & 909 almost had audio today.  Alaskans were back, but weren't 
particularly strong.

Who is the second station on 972?  It was quite noticeable behind the 
KBS station today.

Good - listenable audio peaking above the noise and interference for a while
