[IRCA] TPs for August 27th: Not Half Bad
I was surprised at the number of strong carriers and TP audio making it to
inland Puyallup this morning. After reviewing the Perseus WAV recordings
there seemed to be two minor peaks at approx. 1235 and 1250. I found no
improvement in signals any later, up to the 1315 UTC end of my recordings.
Overall, very nice for this location in August!
594 JAPAN JOAK Tokyo, fair with JJ talk at 1237, improving later at 1250.
972 SOUTH KOREA HLCA, weak signal of KK talk by woman at 1234, but rising to
fair-gd by 1250.
1134 JAPAN JOQR Tokyo, JJ talk by male at 1234. Weak signal.
1287 JAPAN JOHR Sapporo, poor to fair in JJ at 1235.
1566 SOUTH KOREA HLAZ Cheju, good level with hymns and religious music at
1235.
1575 THAILAND VOA Ayutthaya, poor to fair at 1237 with Vietnamese talk, and
rising to a good level at 1250, then back down.
--------
Of the many Level 5 hets noted, the winner of the "most likely to make it
into audio" award goes to 1475 RTM Malaysia (logged by me last week a few
times at the Oregon coast). The 1475 het was strongest right at 1250 UTC. At
the coast, Malaysia was best around 1315 UTC.
I wonder how fellow Puyallupian (Puyalluptonian?) DXer Gary DeBock would
assess this morning's reception from his location. He is five miles closer
to Puget Sound's salt water than I am, and in the fertile Puyallup valley
with a presumably better ground. I'm on a rocky, high ridge further east.
Despite my Perseus RX with all its tools, it's not a major advantage.
Massive splatter from the Seattle/Tacoma flamethrowers affects us both. In
my opinion, propagation is 95% of the equation if you don't live right on
the coast. Either the signals are in...or they aren't!
