[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on March 31

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A few stations managed to put in good signals today.  The low band was 
relatively quiet, and peaked about an hour before sunrise.  The high 
band peaked at sunrise, but 1557 and 1566 were the only ones making a 
good showing.  Some of the usual Alaskans were audible, with KFQD making 
its best appearance in several weeks.
