[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-15... Much Better

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
After last night's TA phenomena here on the west coast (in which  
Croatia-1134 was received here on a stock Tecsun PL-310, at 0353), we were  probably 
waiting for a legendary TP opening this morning. It wasn't quite  like that, 
but it was still significantly better than the last two days.
 
The second-tier Asian frequencies had good audio, with  891-Thailand 
strongly dominating over JOHK at 1408 (MP3 on request) and a  nice mix of NK and 
China on 621 (in KPOJ splatter). A decent sunrise peak  occurred from 
1400-1415, bringing up audio on my two frequencies of  interest, 1107 and 1125 kHz.
 
A recording of 1125 had apparent Mandarin Chinese conversational  talk, but 
1107 only had the usual music again. These two TP  stations certainly 
aren't very strong, but both had better audio this  morning (on the 9' box loop) 
than they have ever had before. Maybe tomorrow will  be the day to ID both?  
:-)
 
Hopefully John and Guy at Grayland were able to clean up on the west coast  
TA's last night, and make the most of a very decent TP opening this  
morning.
 
73, Gary DeBock
