[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on March 3

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today had one of the best TP openings of the season here.  I can only 
imagine what conditions would have been like on the coast, if only one 
of us had been there.

Most of the action was at the upper ed of the dial, where audio was 
noted on hard to hear channels like 1359, 1431, 1449, and 1494. Most of 
that audio peaked during a very brief period at about 1430. Thanks 
goodness for SDR receivers, allowing me to go through those few minutes 
one channel at a time.

The lower half of the dial didn't fare as well, with audio from only a 
few of the regularly heard stations.
