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



Fabulous report, Gary...

I'm sorry to say that I've yet to reattach loop heads, etc. for my antennas, so I slept in on a very good Asian morning. I'd love to have both 891 and 792 MP3s... for obvious reaspons, especially as 792 is concerned :>)

Be sure and turn in your log to Ol' Rob, Sergeant-of-Arms (or is it Ears) of the Ultralight Awards program. We'll send you a FANCY set of THREE certificates for your great achievement of passing the Century mark for TPs!!

BRAVO, sir!

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
