approach plate note
Just started brushing up on some approach plates after a long time flying VFR and came across a note I can't make any sense out of. Here is the link to the approach plate.
The note is in the upper left-hand corner of the plan view. It starts off with "1900 NoPT to BAWAW". I understand what each item is individually, but can't decipher what it means all together. Can anyone shed some light? Thanks!

Roger. I have been self reviewing IFR plates and charts the last few weeks, and it amazes me how many one-off particulars like these you find if you look hard enough. Many of the guys in my office are pilots and we kill many a lunch hour discussing trivia like this.

thanks for the responses everyone. that seems to clear it up.
i'm not sure why they didn't just put the identifiers of the stations those radials were referring to. looking at it now it seems obvious, but if i were flying the approach for the first time (as i was last night), it seems like it'd be a lot easier to understand if they had just put, "214 FAK" and "159 I-OFP"....imho.
and i assume the 1900 NoPT means you can do that transition at 1900? because any other way you fly that approach you need to stay at 2000 until inbound.

WAG as to why the dogleg was written up that way? Too much writing already in that area of the chart.
Anyone have the Jepp chart? Comparing the way the FAA and Jepp handle the same information is usually instructive.
