[IRCA] TP DX on January 26

Not a bad morning but not a good one either.  1557 and 1566 had their 
moments at sunrise, but everything else was down in strength. I had 
several carriers that seemed good enough to produce audio, but very 
little was heard.  1116, 1278 and 1422 are good examples, and the poor 
audio I reported might just as well  be wishful thinking.

Good - Much of it understandable by a native speaker
1557    Taiwan, pop songs blasting in at times 1522-40
1566    HLAZ, announcements in Chinese 1530


Fair - a native speaker would understand a few words and phrases
780    KNOM, 1529 anmt mentioning "Music and the Spoken Word" then piano 
music o/remnants of KKOH.  According to station website, KNOM carries a 
program with that name at that time.
890    KBBI, presumed with BBC news mixing with CJDC 1401
747    JOIB, man in JJ 1150, weather report 1310
774    JOUB, man in JJ 1353
972    HLCA, woman in Korean 1247, man talking 1546
1503    JOUK, JJ talk 1532
1575    VOA, talk in Asian language 1450
1593    CNR1 man & woman in Chinese 1536 during somewhat subdued 
KLFE-1590 talk show

Poor - too weak to comprehend
567    JOIK, weak  Japanese talk 1153
693    JOAB woman in Japanese 1204
850    KICY, 1501 tentative, country-ish song, then woman talking, 
inflections sounded exactly like the KICY IDs I've heard many times
1116    Weak talk 1522, probably China
1170    KBS, weak pips u/KPUG 1500
1278    faint talk 1532
1287    JOHR, woman in JJ 1535
1323    weak talk 1536
1332    Japanese talk 1536
1422    decent carrier, anemic audio 1512

Carriers 594 828 1098 1143 1269 1314 1386 1413 1512 1584 1602
