Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 12-3



Gary, you may have better audio on that 1035 frequency than can be heard in Korea if you can get one station in well with just echoes in the background.

This is how 1035 sounds locally from Seoul, and by locally, I mean it's a skywave local, the only station(s) on the frequency. The main station is from Dalian (50kw), 303 miles across the water. The rest are just lower-power CNR-1 repeaters. But as you can hear from the clip, it's basically unlistenable as a local aside from being right in Dalian itself or near one of the repeaters.

CNR-1 does a crappy job with synching as compared to Korean and Japanese stations (Japanese ones are especially superb with that). Plus, CNR goes off the air at 1405 UTC mid-sentence every night. They could improve. But I could say the same about some of the other networks in Shandong, Liaoning, and Jilin. Some are downright creepy sounding.

And a good example of a listenable echo signal in a hilarious sort of way (one station is a few *seconds* behind). This is the Sound of the Great Northern Wilderness network on 1476 (Heilongjiang / Harbin-based //873, a station that broadcasts Chinese half the time and Korean - only half-understandable by South Koreans as it's a North Korean dialect used up there - the remainder of the time). This clip is a radio story in Korean. Echo-y to say the least.

levels. About the only Chinese stations that went against the trend were the 1035-CNR1 synchros, with their distinctive echoes slightly stronger this morning. The Japanese big guns
