[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-8...Great Again

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Conditions seemed very favorable here, as the new 9' box loop continues to  
receive new Ultralight TP's at a fast pace. Thanks to the tip from John and 
 Walt, the Russian R. Mayak was heard on 666 kHz mixing with NHK1 (JOBK) at 
1355,  with both of them at about equal strength. Some slop from 670-KBOI 
made it  interesting, but as usual the Murata-filter C.Crane SWP minimized 
the  slop when tuned down 1 kHz (to 665). 
 
Later on at 1412, CNR1 was heard on 1035 kHz with Chinese music, having  
somewhat weak modulation for its strong carrier. Its carrier had been  
received here frequently on previous days at good strength, but  with weak 
threshold audio (similar to 756-CNR1).
 
These two stations provided Ultralight TP loggings #98 and #99, which  
certainly would never have been possible without the new 9' PVC-frame box loop  
here. For a mediocre DXing location like Puyallup, this antenna seems to be 
a  real $52 overachiever (as long as your neighbor can tolerate it :-)
 
73, Gary DeBock
