[IRCA] Arizona TP September 15th

[Brian Rachford <azswdxing@xxxxxxxxx>]

(7'x24' Conti superloop pointed 320 degrees, RTL-SDR dongle with
upconverter, coverage up to 1400kHz)

In contrast to many other reports, this morning was unusually good for me!
T-storm threat kept me from leaving an antenna out yesterday morning, but
this morning I did a long SDR recording.  As has been normal this month, I
had a double peaked morning with audio from Japan already by 0936UT (2:36
MST), and more audio closer to my local 1312UT (6:12 MST) sunrise.  Korean
972 was the star of the show, delivering some fairly decent audio around
1300UT.  I usually break up these long SDR files into 15-20 minute chunks,
and I rapidly scanned through to judge the best signals in each 20 minute
period this morning.  This vividly shows the timing pattern.  I also put up
a recording of 972 at my blog, along with a version of this log:
