[IRCA] TPs in Seattle on January 5

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yesterday, I had nothing but wispy carriers on 747, 774, and maybe one 
two others.  Today was quite a bit better, the best reception of the 
past several days.

The SDR ran from 1250-1600+.  I'm thinking I should start the recording 
sooner because most of today's action was at the beginning of the file.  
HLAZ-1566 was near local-like at times, especially before 1300.  Most of 
the others peaked just before 1300, and tapered off after that.

There wasn't much of a sunrise enhancement except for HLAZ, which made 
an impressive encore performance for about 15 minutes.

Good - fully or mostly understandable by a native speaker
1566    HLAZ, monster signal 1250, man with religious talk in Japanese.  
Remained strong through the end of the JJ service at 1345.  Signal 
gradually became weaker after antenna change 1345.  It was fair-poor 
after that, until 1528-1544 when it faded back up with various Chinese 
announcements and songs at nice level.


Fair - parts of it understandable by a native speaker
747    JOIB, man with weather report fading up for a couple of minutes 
1311, otherwise poor-nil
774    JOUB, Japanese talk 1252-1255, poor-nil after that
972    HLCA, woman in Korean 1334-1338
1422    JORF, man in Japanese 1257
1575    VOA, mostly inaudible today, but faded up for a few minutes 
1507-1511 with talk in SEA language

Poor - recognizable program content
981    CNR1, bits of Chinese talk 1257
1413    music 1251
1593    CNR1, 1257-1302, occasional syllables of Chinese talk poking 
through the splatter from my 1590 local
1602    NHK2, 1252 man & woman in Japanese // 774
