[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-14... One Surprise



Hello All,
 
Conditions seemed about average for November in the frozen back yard (next  
to the 9' box loop), with the modified ICF-2010 showing good audio on the  
powerhouse TP's (594, 603, 657, 738, 747, 828 and 972) but not much else. 
 
The general band scan around 1450 showed a strong carrier on 765 kHz,  
though, which is a very unusual TP frequency in Puyallup (which  is close to 
semi-local 770-KTTH, and all its splatter). The 765  kHz carrier was at its 
strongest level of the season, and rose up to  moderate audio around 1453, with 
male Korean monolog talk (presumably from the  MBC station HLCQ, which I've 
heard at Grayland but never in Puyallup). The  765 kHz audio was gone in a 
flash, and must have only showed up for the peak  sunrise enhancement. 
Although certainly not rare DX, it was fun to hear this  Korean right next to the 
770 kHz slopper. 
 
738 kHz had its usual mix of Taiwan Fisheries and KBS around  1455, with 
603 kHz also having its usual competition between HLSA and  the UnID Chinese, 
all at relatively good levels. A quick check of the high band  around 1445 
revealed 1503 khz again close to audio (have been trying for JOUK),  but the 
carrier fizzled out quickly.
 
In general the band here seemed closer to Nick's impression, with some  
very decent TP signals mixed into the average Asian levels. For mid-November,  
it's probably something to be thankful for :-)
