[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on March 24

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary's excellent TP opening didn't extend this far north I'm afraid.  It 
was rather mediocre here.  I'm stretching the truth a bit when I say 
JOAB was "good" and the two Koreans were "fair". They were better than 
the rest of the pack, but that was about it.

Lots of signals hung around well past 1400 UTC today, even though they 
were weak to begin with.  The most interesting catch was a carrier on 
1584 at 1423-1430+.  It was stronger than 1566 at times, but KLFE splash 
buried it about 95% of the time.  I have no idea what it could have 
been.  Otherwise, today was a forgettable morning for TPs.


GOOD - better than all the others
693    JOAB, briefly faded up with English lesson 1255

1377    traces of music in KRKO splatter 1341
1386    bits of music 1342, possibly vocalist with flute accompaniment,

1422    faint talk 1331
