[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-14-- Barely Average

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Like Dennis and Colin reported, TP propagation may have been slightly  
better this morning, but not by much. A general scan of the band (on the 9'  box 
loop) looked like this:
 
558  JOCR   fair at 1358
585  JOPG  good at 1359
594  JOAK  strong at 1352; very strong at 1410
603  HLSA  strong at 1403 (mixing with Chinese co-channel)
621  Pyongyang fair in KPOJ slop, 1403
639  CNR1  strong at 1357
648  VOR threshold audio at 1404
657  Pyongyang strong tirade at 1405
666  JOBK strong at 1406; no sign of Russian
675  VOV good signal at 1407
693  JOAB fair at 1408
738  Taiwan Fisheries a solid "9" at 1410; no KBS co-channel
756  CNR1  weak at 1410
784  China  threshold audio, 1411
792  UnID China threshold 1411
891  JOHK  fair at 1412; no Thai co-channel
918  China fair at 1413
927         "
936  China strong at 1414
963  Threshold audio 1415
972  HLCA strong at 1355
1035  UnID Chinese weak at 1416
1053  Jammer/ China mix fair at 1400
1107  Very weak music at 1418
1125  Threshold audio at 1417
1134  Strong signal from KBS at 1419; no co-channel
Higher Frequencies:  No time to investigate
 
My main targets for the morning were 1107 and 1125 kHz, both of which had  
threshold audio rising to mediocre levels at peaks. No TP's have been  
logged here on either frequency. 1107 plays a lot of music and has very little  
speech, while 1125 has weak Chinese-sounding talk. With such mediocre  
conditions, these two frequencies have been dragging out their UnID mysteries  for 
three days straight.
 
Hope that John and Guy had better luck in Grayland today.
 
73, Gary DeBock
