[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on January 13

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It was a rather mediocre morning here in Seattle.  The only audio below 
1500 kHz was a very marginal set of NHK time pips on 747. Otherwise, the 
only signals were a few of the very high end regulars.   There was a 
mild high-end enhancement at sunrise, but VOA-1575 actually had a better 
signal a couple of hours earlier.

There were a couple of intriguing carriers.  756 was almost good enough 
to produce audio at 1400.  There were also interesting carriers on 1539 
and 1548, plus one from presumed Taiwan on 1557. All three had 
reasonably good strength, but there was too much domestic splatter to 
reveal any audio.

Good
1566    HLAZ, 1529 choir singing, then various announcements in Chinese

Fair
1575    VOA, talk in Asian language 1304-22, poor nil after that until 
it made a minor resurgence 1523-29

Poor
747    JOIB, faint pips 1400
1593    CNR1, 1531-33 occasional Chinese talk poking above the KLFE-1590 
splatter.  Carrier was stronger than HLAZ-1566, but local QRM was too 
much to overcome.
