[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle for April 1

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conditions weren't all that bad for April.  The bottom of the band was a 
total bust, with weak audio on 693 747 and 774.  VOA-1575 was impressive 
for a few minutes today.  There was no clear enhancement, except for VOA 
which had a very pronounced boost in strength at sunrise.

GOOD
972    HLCA 1257 phone conversation in Korean, man & woman in studio, 
man at other end.  Still producing audio 1347
1566    HLAZ, 1245 two women conversing in Japanese, possibly  a radio drama
1575    VOA, 1314-1329 excellent at times with SEA  language, English 
IDs 1330, Yankee Doodle, then jingle ID and start of Khmer program, 
significantly weaker after that, gone by 1335

FAIR
750    KFQD, 1306 ID & local news under KXTG, not nearly as good as 
yesterday

POOR
693    JOAB, bits of talk in the splatter 1247
747    JOIB, 1311 Japanese male and female talk, sounded more like 
language lesson rather than the weather report that has been on NHK2 at 
this time
774    JOUB, 1244, male & female voices, sounded like language lesson
981    CNR1, 1251, Chinese talk
1170    KBS time pips during pause in KPUG audio 1300
1206    Yanbian, 1344 noisy carrier on 1205.96, woman talking with 
Korean-like inflections

CARRIERS
738 828 945 1035 1053 1323 1422 1494 1503 1557 1593
