[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle onOctober 21



This was an excellent morning for TP's here. There were many Japanese stations audible at the low end of the band, plus several mid-band Chinese. The upper part of the dial was near empty of Asians, except for a rather anemic HLAZ.

Signals seemed to peak between 1350 and 1410 today, but a few stayed around until 1500. JOIB and JOUB were still there for their 1500 sign offs, and JOHR lasted almost as long.
