[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on Sept 16

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Low-band Asians were quite weak today, with a small number of pathetic 
little carriers barely poking above the noise.  The middle and upper 
parts of the dial fared a bit better.  There was audio on a few 
channels, although none were particularly impressive.

There were also a few Alaskans.  KNOM and KICY made their first 
appearances of the season, and KFQD briefly gave the Portland station a 
run for its money.


GOOD - I could understand most of it for a brief period
750    KFQD, PSA, "KFQD news time 5:13", Anchorage weather, more IDs 
1313 mixing with KTXJ

FAIR - A native speaker would have understood a few words
780    KNOM, ID mixing with KKOH 1300, then ABC news by both stations 
with slight echo between them
850    KICY, Christian music & partial ID mixing with KHHO 1300
972    HLCA, man and woman in Korean among much splatter 1320
1566   HLAZ, Piano music & Japanese talk 1327
1575    VOA, Yankee Doodle & English ID 1330, then woman in Khmer

POOR - A native speaker would have said "forget it"
981    Occasional syllables in the CKNW splatter 1328, probably CNR1
1287    Phone conversation 1328, probably Japan
1323    Woman in presumed Russian 1324, probably CRI
