[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-16... Late Boom

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
What sounded like a modest band prior to 1400 suddenly came alive with  
strong Asiatic signals, including the best signals yet this season on 792, 891  
and 1125 kHz.
 
792 kHz was very strong at 1415 with both China-Shanghai and Thailand,  
which was identified // to the 891-Thailand station, which was also strong  
(mixing with JOHK). 792-Thailand was Ultralight TP #100 here, and a nice  MP3 
was made of the station mixing with music from China on the 9' PVC box  loop. 
An MP3 of 891 kHz yesterday also had the same female-voiced Thai  
announcer, with the signal dominant over JOHK (either or both MP3's  are available 
upon request). Thanks to Derek Vincent for sending his own MP3 of  792 kHz a 
month ago, which helped me to sort out these stations.
 
1125 kHz came up to audio again for brief periods, and is almost certainly  
Mandarin Chinese. That makes the 5th UnID Mandarin Chinese station received 
 on the huge box loop, since it was raised on October 3rd. Since most of  
these are near the noise level, it will be very tough to ID them  before the 
TP season drops out (especially in a mediocre location like  Puyallup). 1107 
kHz had more music this morning, but no ID clues.
 
So the band was very exciting with a late TP peak here-- as  the 9' loop 
continues to perform like it is somewhere near an ocean  beach :-)
 
73, Gary
