[IRCA] Puyallup, WA tralight TP's for 10-19



Asian results here were very similar to Dennis' report, with a few stronger Koreans and a few weaker Japanese (as usual). A generous sunrise enhancement after 1350 boosted not only the NHK and Korean big guns but the Koreans on 603 and 657 up to good levels, while 738-BEL2 had another decent run around 1410. And like Dennis, I had an all-Asian morning (as if that would surprise anybody). 

The usual Japanese and Korean big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1053 and 1566 were holding down the fort with fair to good signals in the predawn darkness at my 1330 start time, with only carriers from the second-tier Asians. By 1350 the Koreans on 603 and 657 came out of the noise to reach fair peaks, though, while a presumed 738-BEL2 and 1044-CRI also managed weak audio. The Koreans especially got a potent sunrise enhancement boost around 1355, with both 972-HLCA's variety show and the 1053-Jammer hitting brief S9 levels. On the same intellectual level as the 1053-Jammer there was 657-Pyongyang, reaching a very good level at 1402 with the same female vocal song that I've already heard 3 times during sunrise enhancement the past month. Apparently Pyongyang B.S. plays the same female vocal music every night after 1400 UTC, figuring that nobody would notice it after midnight local time. Best signals of the session were from 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer, both of which pounded in at S9 levels around 1355. 

657 Pyongyang B.S. Pyongyang, N. Korea Female vocal music at a very good level at 1402, but apparently part of a canned program that plays every night after 1400 on weekdays (this particular song has been heard 3 times during recent sessions)
