[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on 21 Feb

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The marginal conditions continued today.  VOA-1575 was the only genuine 
bright spot this morning, with a  rather nice signal for about 15 
minutes.  The electrical noise was stronger than average, but it was 
locally generated so it doesn't count as TP DX :)

Good - Would have been armchair copy for  a few minutes, if not for the 
electrical noise
1575    VOA, fair-weak with the usual English IDs 1430, then it started 
to fade up with Burmese program.  Reasonably good strength at times 
1431-1447, but electrical noise made reception rougher than it should 
have been.

Fair - A native speaker could recognize a few words now and then
747    JOIB, man & woman with English lesson 1426
774    JOUB, man & woman 1408, listed as Korean lesson.  Better at 1500 
with pips, music bridge, then man in Japanese.

Poor - Barely above the noise and fighting lots of splatter
693    JOAB, partial time pips 1400 & 1500
972    Woman talking 1424

Carriers 594 738 1566
