Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 12-18 (Preliminary)

["R. Colin Newell" <coffeecanuck@xxxxxxxxx>]

Todays showcase of all things Trans-Pacific radio signals felt that they
took a 3 db drop over yesterday - that said, I was at the dial a whopping
20 minutes later than yesterday and that
could have accounted for the fade interval.

That said, there were good signals on primaries and secondaries from 567
khz up through my mid-band check.
As I passed 972 Khz, I noticed that Korea was swamping the domestics on 970
Khz -- and that is always a good sign.
My mid-band from 909 through 1215 Khz seemed to be holding up the best as
the local sunrise approached.

For whatever reason, I get the best bang for the buck mid-band - which is
to say, whatever Nick Hall-Patches reference antennas and receivers
are getting, mid-band seems a bit perkier for me at my location.
