[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-18... Another Sizzler
Hello All,
Like everyone else has reported, the TP's certainly were fun to chase this
morning-- and they seemed especially vibrant here.
Continuing to investigate the mid-band frequencies with the 9' box loop, I
found the always-weak 1107-HLAV with Korean, at language recognition level
around 1416-- quite a rare event. China-1125 was also there, but not at the
unusually strong level of yesterday. I decided to check 1134 kHz at 1420
to see which station would be dominant, and found the frequency booming--
CNR1 sounded like a local, but KBS was right behind, and JOCR was there below
them. A real TP "graveyard" channel (or as John would say, a "United
Nations"), from which I was fortunate to get an MP3 (which I plan to upload to
dxer.ca and Ultralightdx).
Since I had never yet logged Asiatic TP's on 1017 kHz, I checked that
frequency at 1424, and found both Korean talk and music from a presumed CNR
Foreign Service, and also a strong co-channel which apparently was the NHK2
Radio English Conversational lesson noted by Dennis (although I didn't check
the //, so all I have is the MP3 to review). Either or both would be new
Ultralight TP loggings here.
Finally, 1071 kHz had a weak male-voiced TP in the CFAX splatter (which was
un-nullable on the loop, because the bearings were too close). The
program was some kind of news or talk, heard around 1431 right before the band
slowly started to fade here. I have no idea who it was, and I don't expect
too much help from the Victoria DXers :-) Maybe it will be tomorrow's big
target?
