[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 9-29... Sizzler!

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Wow, John Bryant sure picked a great day to start his Grayland DXpedition  
:-)
 
The Chinese especially were booming in here, and were unusually vibrant on  
most frequencies. Around 1342 I found the Chinese station reported by Bruce 
 mixing with the North Korean on 621, with both of them in slight KPOJ-620  
splatter (for a very busy MP3). 792 kHz had decent audio here for the first 
time  this season, and I suspect the recording is Chinese (but still 
playing it  over).
 
603 kHz had a mix of the Mandarin Chinese station and HLSA around 1345,  
with both at good levels. 585 had the 10 kw JOPG station at near "9" level  
around 1339, and 666-JOBK had a huge signal.
 
As requested by Walt, I checked 657-Pyongyang at 1400 (even though the band 
 had fizzled before that during previous days this week). Much to my 
surprise,  the buzzing signal was still booming, and I made a nice MP3 of the TOH 
ID (and  the corny music) right at 1400. As Bruce had surmised, however, the 
speech  was all in Korean, with no English.
 
73, Gary DeBock
