[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on March 5

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

TP conditions this morning were above average by this season's 
standards, but down a bit from the last few days.

Stations at the low end of the dial generally struggled to produce 
mediocre signals.

Those at the upper end were much better, but were limited mainly to 
semi-regulars.  One exception was on 1377, which was likely the 
Indonesian that others have reported.  Unfortunately, it was buried 
after 1430 when KRKO-1380 made its power and pattern change.

The signals peaked between 1420 and 1435.  I didn't hear much before or 
after that period.
