[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on April 4

[Bruce Portzer <portzerbt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions were generally poor until just before sunrise, when a couple 
of things happened:

- The NHK stations on 747 774 and 828 made late showings starting at 
about 1315 UT.

- There was a brief but interesting sunrise enhancement at the high end 
of the band, which lasted for a few minutes (roughly 1330-1340).

Here's the interesting stuff:

1323ÂÂÂ CHINA, CRI (presumed) 1330 weak woman talking, language sounded 
like Russian
