[IRCA] TP DX in Seattle on October 5

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was the first decent TP morning in several days.  FOr once, I was 
able to receive good audio from several stations.  Several second tier 
channels also made brief appearances.  In addition, there were carriers 
that "almost" produced audio on 576 603 729 837 and others.

GOOD
750    KFQD, way  atop KTXJ with mention of kfqd.com, "Newstalk 750 and 
the brand-new 103.7 FM KFQD" ID 1358, promos, jingle ID, then 30 seconds 
of dead air before CBS news at 1400
774    JOUB, 1330 man in Japanese opening an English lesson, "lesson 25" 
mentioned.  Then woman in English talking about Autumn in New York.
890    KBBI,  NPR "Weekend Edition"mixing with CJDC 1401
972    HLCA, the standard ToH announcement by a woman, then 3+1 pips 
1300, quite nice for the next hour with pop songs and talk
1566    HLAZ, thundering in at times with the usual Sunday church 
service in Japanese 1240-1342, then woman closed things down for the day 
1344.  Weaker after pattern change with Chinese program


FAIR
693    JOAB, Japanese talk 1341
828    JOBB, English lesson // 774  1333


POOR
594    woman in Japanese 1317
747    JOIB, Japanese talk 1251, with much local electrical noise. Would 
have been fair-good without the noise
864    weak talk 1350
981    CNR1, Chinese talk, 2 sets of pips 1400, more talk, then very weak ID
1053    jammer 1312
1098    bits of talk 1308, too weak to guess at language
1134    animated woman 1337, possibly Japan but too weak to tell language
1386    male talk 1331, possibly //774 but not sure.  KRKO-1380 IBOC was 
off today, apparently because of its HD tests.
1575    two carriers, one slightly off-freq producing a noticeable buzz. 
Male talk 1257-1300, possibly some music too
