[IRCA] TP reception in Seattle on Oct 11

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It was generally a good morning for TPs here.  I found it to be similar 
to the past few days, with decent signals from the low band NHK stations 
and the usual Koreans.  Except for CNR-981, I didn't have any sign of 
the Chinese enhancement reported by Gary.

Unlike Gary and Dennis, I didn't have a blockbuster signal on 657. Here, 
it was mostly just a carrier buried in domestic splatter and only 
occasionally produced a few syllables of talk.  On the other hand, I did 
hear the North Koreans on 819 and 873 again.

There were lots of low-mid band carriers today, many of them teasing me 
with tantalizingly weak audio.  Things were quite dull above 1200.  
HLAZ-1566 was the only station producing much of anything.

GOOD
747    JOIB, English lesson 1318
774    JOUB, loud with  English lesson, talking about  women returning 
to work force after "child-bearing leave" 1314, still fair-good with 
Japanese talk 1425.  Possibly a second station in the background.
972    HLCA, 1200-1400+ with the usual assortment of conversations and 
songs.  Still producing audio (woman talking) after 1430
981    CNR1, best signal of the season 1200 & 1300 with ads, 2 sets of 
pips, more talk.  Also good 1413 with echoey talk.  Good-nil at other times.
