[IRCA] TP DX for Sunday Sept 29

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It was another reasonably good morning for TPs.  The usual crowd of 
strong signals were at their normal strength.  On Sunday mornings, I can 
usually could on at least one local toning down their programming.  This 
week it was KJR, which cut down on the splash long enough for decent 
reception of JOKR-954.

I had a second station on 774, quite noticeable behind JOUB and quite 
likely the Hubei PBS station we often hear at Grayland.

My other notable log was the NHK station on 756, instead of the usual 
Chinese station.  It was quite weak but the 1300 time pips precisely 
matched those on 594

Alaskans were once again missing in action.
