[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle 10-9-10

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 This morning, I let the SDR do the work, while I caught up on my 
sleep.  Conditions were similar to yesterday morning, with strong 
signals from the NHK powerhouses and a few other stations.  Like 
yesterday, there were lots of tantalizing carriers, some of which 
produced audio and some of which didn't. Overall, it was a decent but 
not spectacular morning.  I'd say it was about average for this time of 
year.  Tomorrow will be 10-10-10, so hopefully DX conditions will also 
be a "10".

585    Unid trace audio 1356, didn't sound //594
594    JOAK good w/ man in JJ, pips, NHK mention, then nx in JJ 1400
603    Two sets of pips again 1400.  One had 4+1 pips.   Audio 
afterwards sounded typical of  the TC's and ID's Chinese stations do at 
the ToH, but it was way too weak to tell what they said.  The second 
pips sounded 3+1 but not sure (probably KBS or NHK)
639    3+1 pips in 630 splatter, probably the NHK station 1400.  I don't 
think I've heard China here so far this season
