[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on January 12

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions here were much different than what Gary reported. Signals 
were rather lethargic in Seattle, with HLAZ the only one producing a 
respectable signal for a sustained period.  The others barely faded up 
out of the noise for brief periods.

There was a sunrise enhancement of sorts at about 1530, but it was 
limited to a couple of the regulars.

Electrical noise was unusually high today, affecting different parts of 
the band in different ways at different times.


Good -Understandable to a native speaker for at least a couple of minutes
1566    HLAZ, 1345 ending JJ service for the day with the usual woman 
announcer and distinctive music.  Not as strong as yesterday


Fair - bits of it would have been understandable to a determined native 
speaker
693    JOAB, male talk in CBU splatter 1208, otherwise poor-nil today
774    JOUB, 1200 time pips, then woman in Japanese, just a carrier 
after 1240
972    HLCA, woman in Korean 1538

Poor - Miscellaneous stuff poking up out of the noise and splatter
747    JOIB, weak  talk 1446, otherwise all I could get was a carrier
981    CNR1, what sounded like classical music 1238
1422    faint bits of talk 1406
1503    JOUK, very faint pips 1300, faint male talk 1303
1575    VOA, sometimes fading up with a few morsels of talk 1515-1540
