[IRCA] NE Oregon--poor this morning for Pacifics

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxx>]

This morning was very poor with no audio. I woke up early and a check had 
some weak MW hets around 1230 utc. Later even the hets were gone except for 
usual huge 1098 het, 1356 utc.
Last night early evening had 570 Radio Reloj "RR" at good level for a couple 
of minutes, and I even caught the one TOM tone at 0245 utc, thanks for 
Curt's explaining the format. There just happened to be a second of silence 
right then where all the other stations were quiet too, and the tone came 
through, followed by the higher-pitched "RR" code. 530 had the Cuban station 
strong about that time too, playing music. RVC was much weaker with some SS 
preacher underneath. But the Cuban was playing instrumental music, and the 
tune seemed familiar. I kept listening and finally I recognized it as "Jesus 
Christ Superstar" theme song from the old musical of the same name. That 
seemed quite odd to be played by a Cuban station! Now that tune is still 
stuck in my head this morning. I never liked it much but it was played to 
death at the time the musical was popular--I haven't heard it for years 
until last night.
