[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-12 (and 10-11)... Not Bad

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
The conditions both yesterday and this morning seemed low average  prior to 
around 1400, but were boosted significantly with a sunrise peak around  
1415.
 
783 kHz had been a frequency where I was chasing weak audio for about a  
month with little result, but yesterday a sudden peak of Mandarin Chinese was  
received around 1417, providing a fair MP3 mixed with some 780  splatter. 
The talk program featured a male/female dialog, apparently a  question and 
answer interview. As usual, the PAL and WRTH have multiple Chinese  stations 
listed on 783, but if I can find some ID clues in the recording,  this would 
be Ultralight TP #100 here.
 
This morning the frequency of interest was 1107 kHz, another one  where 
anemic carriers occasionally produced threshold  audio during peaks recently. 
Around 1415 this morning the 1107  carrier (with a somewhat ragged tone) came 
up to weak audio for a marginal  recording in domestic splatter-- which 
hopefully will provide at least language  recognition when replayed several 
times.
 
Of course, both of these frequencies probably have a booming TP (with  
several co-channels) at Grayland, so I'll be interested in the reports  from 
John and Guy. Despite the challenge of chasing weak TP's in a mediocre  DXing 
location like Puyallup, the new 9' box loop certainly has been a real  $48 
overachiever, receiving 8 new Ultralight TP's in 8 days.
