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



I suspect that some of the "second tier" Japanese advantage in Victoria is on the second go round with the SDR files, Gary. A better comparison would be with what Colin hears live with no wideband recording to back him up.

Even going through SDR files has rarely dug out Chinese as good as heard in Puyallup or Seattle (after accounting for local splash in those more southerly sites)

This season has been pretty extraordinary here for most East Asians. Even so, my 18th December report had nothing that was the strength of your recordings of China, Korea, and Taiwan on those particular stations. I don't think that I even reported a carrier on 756, though I might have been able to find one with dedicated combing of the SDR files.

Now, DUs....no argument Victoria is better, as the Olympic Peninsula has nothing like the impact here that it does on paths to Puget Sound.

best wishes,

Nick

I agree, Colin, but there is a mysterious propagation preference that some places seem to display, that can't really be explained by these factors. The Rockwork cliff in Oregon has always had an overwhelming preference for New Zealand signals, despite the fact that the Australian bearing isn't too far different. Victoria is far superior to Puyallup as a TP-DXing location, but Victoria seems to have a preference for second tier Japanese signals, whereas Puyallup tends to break toward the Chinese on similar days. Weird!
