[IRCA] TP DX today - mind numbingly dull

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This morning was a good reminder of why I like to sleep in and let the 
radio record the DX for a more convenient time.

This was definitely a really bad morning.  Stuff was there, but it was 
getting beaten up pretty badly by domestic splatter much more than 
normal.  The usual powerhouses were weaker than normal and second tier 
stations produced no audio.  The locals were their normal strength (I 
checked), so whatever went wrong with the DX happened  before it reached 
my house.

Here's what I captured in my notes.

Really good audio, most of it understandable by a native speaker, if 
only for a short amount of time
747   Japan, thank to the "short amount of time" loophole

OK audio, some of it understandable by a native speaker, if only for a 
short amount of time
594   Japan, but only because of a minute or so of good audio, otherwise 
it belonged in the next category down
774   Japan, during infrequent signal peaks
972   KBS, briefly

Marginal audio, could recognize program content, but a native speaker 
would not have understood much if any
540   China very faint pips u/CBK 1200
603   Unid
738   Taiwan
828   Japan
891   Thailand
909   Japan?, very faint pips 1300
945    China, during a brief pause in the KJR splatter
981    China
1017   CRI
1170   KBS
1206   Yanbian
1566   HLAZ, maybe a minute of actual audio
1575   VOA

Carriers, a couple of them may have had real or imaginary audio.  Some 
might have had decent audio if the domestics had beeen quieter.  Some 
may have even been imaginary carriers for all I know.
549 576 585 612 639 657 666 729 756 783 837 846 855 864 936 1026 1035 
1098 1134 1215 1224 1269 1278 1287
