[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on October 26

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning's TP DX seemed promising when I stared at the screen in 
real time at 1330 today. But it turned out to be a bit on the dull side 
when I went through the files later. There were lots of things to be 
heard but they weren't all that strong. And for some reason the locals 
were more splashy than normal. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

558ÂÂÂ S KOREA, KBS 10/26 1348 fair light pops & woman in Korean //603, 
weak unid in background probably Japan

567ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JOIK, 1326 interview in Japanese, didn't sound //594 fair 
w/much KVI splat

594 JAPAN, JOAK, 1400 man talking across ToH in Japanese. It sounded 
like he said "beautiful micrograph" at 1300:05 but I'm probably mistaken....

603ÂÂÂ S KOREA, 1400"Happy FM" jingle and Korean woman just before ToH, 
then time tone. Not as good as yesterday

675ÂÂÂ VIETNAM?, weak chimes 1359 sounded like those used by VTVN, 
possible faint pips at toh, then traces of audio.

693ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JOAB, 1426 English lesson fair in CBU splash

702ÂÂÂ JAPAN, NHK2, 1440 poor in horrific KIRO splat with talk //693

splash, possibly mixing with a second station

smartphone use

splash

828ÂÂÂ JAPAN, JOBB, 1400 catchy little song opening another English lesson
