[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's (The Pitts) for 10-31
Hello All,
Nigel was hoping that the west coast DXers might hear some DX this
morning, but at least for this west coast DXer, his hopes were in vain. It was
probably the worst day for TP propagation this month, and I'm sure that a lot
of DXers were scrambling to check their receivers, and antenna connections.
There was moderate audio from JOAK-594, HLSA-603, BEL2-738 and JOIB-747,
but that was about it on the low band. JOAK-594 had no Korean competition
this morning (unlike the last 3 days), and HLSA had no Chinese competition
(which is rare this season). My original plan to check for weak co-channels on
the NHK frequencies this morning was ludicrous, with the NHK stations
themselves pretty weak. Despite the warm (58 degree) rainy weather, the band
was in a deep freeze.
With John B. and Kevin S. at Grayland, it seems like a pretty scary day
for the propagation to tank. Sure hope they had better results than Nigel and
me, but I'm not too optimistic.
73, Gary DeBock
