[IRCA] TP DX on Jan 19 in Seattle

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All the action today was at the high end of the dial for a few minutes 
centered at 1540 UTC.  I had carriers on most of the 9 kHz channels 
above 1350, but very little below.  The opening seemed to peak exactly 
at the NHK2 sign-off time, allowing me to catch snippets of NHK audio on 
several channels.  1386 was by far the best and allowed me to perform 
sanity checks on a few seldom heard frequencies.  1476, for example, 
with a 1 kw'er and 2 100 watters listed.

GOOD
HLAZ-1566 - Chinese talk  & music briefly good 1545, mostly fair otherwise

FAIR
1386    NHK2, Japanese talk 1538, man with murky ID for (I think) JOKB 
at 1540, then rose up to nice level with NA.  Music box IS 1541 //1602 et al
1422    JORF, male talk 1436
1593    CNR2 with Chinese male 1540, good signal but merciless 
Freedom-1590 splat made for rough copy.  NHK2 in background with 
Japanese NA, then music box IS.

POOR
1314    Bits of audio 1545
1467    What sounded like a woman talking 1541, but too weak and splashy 
to get more.  Also a few notes of the NHK music box 1543 //1386.
1476    NHK2, Very poor, a few opening notes of the Japanese NA //1386 
at 1540, occasional music box notes 1543
1512    NHK2, Opening bars of the Japanese NA //1386 1540, then lost in 
the domestic splatter
1584    Bits of audio 1541 during all-too-brief fraction-of-a-second 
pauses in KLFE-1590 audio
1602    NHK2, NA and music box 1540 //1386
