Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 9-14... Uneven Results

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Guy,
 
The weird "Puyallup effect" works both ways. I never heard any of your  
reported DU's this month, or any of your high-band Japanese catches. Your  
high-band loggings are generally better than what I experience here.
 
Your antenna is certainly superior to the loops I have been using, but it  
seems like this NW Puyallup location has some compensating advantage on the 
low  band, possibly because of a minor salt water effect from Puget Sound 
(about  4 miles away). Often the low-band Asians will show up here with good 
audio, even  on the days when others report them as mediocre. On this 
morning, for example,  639, 657, 666, 675 and 738 all had good audio from Asia, 
along with a weak  Asian on 792 which was an UnID with threshold audio.
 
73, Gary

Hi  Gary,

What a difference a few miles can make! I reviewed my Perseus WAV  files 
from
this morning, and found NOTHING on 639 kHz around 1335 UTC. Only  earlier,
around 1315, did I find any scraps of audio. It was so weak and  splatter
covered that I couldn't identify the language to tell if it was  Chinese or
not...absolutely NOTHING like the MP3 you sent me of 639 as  heard on your
ultralights this morning.

>From my side of  Puyallup, the best signals were 972 HLCA South Korea and
1575 VOA Thailand,  at fair to good levels 1245-1345 most of the time. I 
only
found a weak het  on 1332 kHz at 1330.
