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

Thanks for the two wacky echo recordings, and yes, the echo effect on poorly synched Chinese stations sounds a lot worse in Seoul than it usually does here (although both 756 and 1035 can sound pretty wacky on the ocean coast of Washington state during good conditions). The Chinese synchro TOH recordings (with time pips all over the place) are especially bizarre. 

The west coast DXers would certainly agree with you that the Japanese are the masters in synchronizing their multiple transmitters, and I've never heard any echo on their many frequencies with multiple stations. If not for the fact that relations between China and Japan are currently in the tank, they could probably teach the Chinese exactly how to solve the problem. 

Thanks again for your postings on the Korean jammers, both North and South. They seem to be getting very creative in how they try to irritate each other. Maybe Nick and the others in the recent PEI DXpedition group should be thankful for this dispute, which provided them with their only Asian reception (on 1053).

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
