Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 9-3... Best Yet for Asians



Gary,

I note with interest your 738 "ragged" signal from Taiwan Fisheries. Did you have the // on 1143? I sort of thought that my "hummer" was Taiwan, since I've been hearing the 1143 signal quite often, and some stuff from the mainland to Taiwan, too.

Looks to me like your 3'-0" loop is fast becoming a favorite. My only possibilities of using such indoors are severely limited by the metal skin on our house. I have just realized, though, that the best shot would be to suspend a 3'-0" one from the ceiling of our two-story living room, in front of the plate glass and plastic windows that look up the Strait of Georgia toward East Asia. I wonder if I could convince my wife that it was a prototype chandelier??? How long a lead-in do you have to the radio.... I'm not really kidding here!

Hello All,

Listened from 1300-1330 this morning with modest equipment (modified
ICF-2010 and 36" tuned passive loop by the bedside), and heard strong carriers
or audio on almost all the 9 kHz splits up to about  800 kHz.

JOAK-594 had a monster "9" signal at 1300, and the Japanese on 558 and 585
also had weak audio around the same time. 603-HLSA had weak audio, as did
the  Japanese on 666 and 693. 675 had threshold audio, presumed from Vietnam
(due to bearing). 738 had audio from both the Taiwan Fisheries station
(with a  ragged-sounding carrier) and Tahiti, with the latter peaking in
strength around 1318. DU's were checked at that time, and 639-Fiji had a strong
carrier  but no audio (typical lately, even at Grayland). 648-Rhema was the
strongest of  the Kiwis, with threshold audio around 1320. Other Kiwis were
checked,  but only had anemic carriers (567-2YA is a lost cause here, with
severe 570-KVI issues). Even 783 had a strong TP carrier this morning-- a
frequency that I've never heard any Asians on (in Puyallup).

In general, I would have to agree with Walt that it was  a GREAT morning,
especially for weak-signal TP's on the low band. I'll  be interested to know
what John and Guy were hearing this morning.

73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA)
