[IRCA] TP DX for 19 Sept

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions were slightly better than yesterday, but most of the Asians 
were still weaker than they were a few days ago.   The exceptions were 
the CRI Russian service outlets on 963 and 1323, which were much better 
than normal.  963 was surprisingly good  at times today.

Several Alaskans were noted: KYUK made its first appearance of the 
season, and KNOM was nicely atop KKOH.

The upper end of the dial is still signally challenged; even 1566 was 
struggling today, although that was due in part to electrical noise.  
Despite Nick and Gary's successes, I still can't hear squat on 603, even 
though it's a wide open channel.
