Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-23
The Asians definitely didn't understand ionospheric absorption this
morning in Victoria either, Gary.
Full report later, but the big guns in the low band remained big, and
there was quite a good mix of second tier stations as well as you
report; also, the collapse at 1400UT was similar.
I was expecting Aussies, but none to be found at first glance.
best wishes,
Nick

I haven't seen any other TP-DX reports this morning, so maybe it was
another session limited to Puyallup and Victoria? In any case the
Asians weren't slowed down at all here by any solar activity,
managing another good sunrise enhancement session all across the
band (on a 5" FSL antenna).
The Japanese big guns were leading the way at my 1320 start time,
with 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB and 747-JOIB already with good signals in
the predawn darkness. The Korean big guns on 972 and 1566 were at
similar strength in and out, while a large collection of second tier
Asians on 603, 657, 738, 1134, 1575 and 1593 were in and out of the
noise. As sunrise enhancement kicked in around 1340 some of these
came into fairly decent audio at times, especially 603-HLSA,
657-Pyongyang, 1134-JOQR and 1575-VOA. The NHK big guns continued
their dominance throughout the session, with 828-JOBB joining the
others after the daylight boost. Like yesterday the party fizzled
shortly after 1400, possibly a premature collapse related to solar
activity. In any case there was definitely enough propagation and
variety to keep Nick busy in his file review tonight.
