Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-12... Anemic

Hi Kevin,
 
Welcome to the TP-chasing gang, and hopefully the late-season propagation  
will still hold some interesting Asian surprises for you.
 
We will be interested to read of your TP-chasing experiences with the  
Slinky Super Loop, and hope that it will bring in some Super DX for you (as you  
dodge the Puget Sound locals). Good luck!
 
73, Gary

Hi  all:

Last night I got a 9x10 foot Slinky Super Loop installed in my  shack, and
it appears that I am now able to actually hear TPs and  contribute here! 
Not sure what size Super Loop it equates to, but it  really pulls it in, is
deathly quiet even in the urban RF zoo here, and has  nulls off the back
(with an adjustable pot) like I have never seen  before.

I agree with Gary's comments and list.  972-KK was  remarkably muted,
although 693 was pretty good here.  China CR1 on  639, verified with the
//5030, was quite good here, with 640-KFI completely  nulled out on the
Super Loop.  I had brief audio on 738, and by the  sounds of the music was
Taiwan Fisheries.
