[IRCA] TPs in Seattle - December 2

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions continue to be below average here.  TPs were mostly absent 
from the lower part of the band today, except for a couple of marginal 
signals from NHK stations.

The upper band showed a bit of life around sunrise, with somewhat OK 
audio from a handful of Japanese stations.  I think I had the same unid 
station Dennis reported on 1575, which was probably one of the AFN outlets.

Good - most of it would have been understandable to a native speaker
1566    HLAZ, briefly good w/Chinese talk at 1516 1534-36 and 1540, 
otherwise poor signal today

Fair - some of it was probably understandable to a native speaker
774    JOUB, time pips 1300, mostly faint-nil after that, but surfaced 
for briefly with talk 1312
1287    JOHK, JJ talk briefly rising above the splatter 1521
1314    JOUF pop songs 1526, JJ talk 1529-1531
1422    JORF, JJ talk 1516-1525+ sometimes good enough to be 
understandable (I think)
1503    JOUK, JJ talk sometimes at listenable level 1509-1514
1575    VOA faded up w/talk in SEA language 1521-26, otherwise weak at 
best.  2 other carriers visible on SDR display 1525, one of which had 
pop music, possibly AFN.

Poor - quite hopeless
747     JOIB, a few seconds of talk 1319
828    JOBB, faint talk and a few bars of music 1330
1242    weak talk 1520
1395    bits of music 1524
1557    pop music and Chinese talk 1521
