[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle - Feb 17

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was one of my best TP mornings in a long time. It was also My 
first TP session in several weeks. To add to the fun, I was actually 
listening in "real time" for once. On the down side, there was a 
computer glitch. Even though the red "record" indication was on, the 
Elad software didn't record most of the session. I did get recordings 
around sunrise after I started a new recording at around sunrise. All 
of which means I can mostly just summarize from memory and the brief 
sunrise recording, which was still pretty good.

Conditions were already very good when I sat down at the rig at 1155 and 
remained good for a while. There was a bit of a drop in signal levels 
at about 1400 before things briefly picked up again at about 1445

So here are the results in frequency order. Sorry for the lack of 
specific times.........
