[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on March 30

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It was a really weird morning here.  Most of the usual powerhouses were 
either weak or absent today.  Yet, I had audio from the same two 
tentative Filipinos that Dennis reported.  There were also tantalizing 
carriers that almost produced audio on 1197, 1458, and 1494.  VOA-1575 
was the only station producing decent audio, and even it had ups,downs, 
and electrical noise


GOOD - Mostly understandable by a native speaker at times
1575    VOA, 1330, English ID, Yankee Doodle, then start of Khmer program


FAIR - A few words could be recognized
774    JOUB, woman in English 1331, then man in Japanese.  NHK2 has 
Chinese lessons M-F at this time, but English lesson on Sunday


POOR - unintelligible murmurings
747    JOIB, woman talking 1326
972    Faint talk in 970 splatter 1340
1206    Occasional bits of talk 1331
1215    Weak talk 1330, inflections sounded like Tagalog so probably DYRF
1377    CNR1?, 1333 male & female talk in KRKO splatter
1512    Bits of male talk 1338, different voice 1339, possibly a couple 
of ads.  Good carrier but lots of splatter.  Possibly DYAB.
1566    HLAZ, woman talking, unusually weak today 1340
1602    Faint talk 1339, probably NHK2 but no //s were audible

CARRIERS
594 693 1188 1197 1386 1413 1422 1458 1494 1503 1593
