[IRCA] Comatose TP's in Puyallup, WA

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
The band was checked at 0910, 1435 and 1525 UTC for signs of Asian TP life, 
 with the A and K indexes near zero. Unfortunately the TP's were also near 
zero--  during all three band scans.
 
Very anemic carriers were all that showed up from 594, 603, 747, 828 and  
972 at 0910 UTC, and at 1525. The only healthy carrier was that of 
657-Pyongyang  at 1435, which for some reason was not warbling as usual (no audio, 
though). If  these conditions are a sign of things to come, then John certainly 
picked the  right time to pack up and leave for Oklahoma.
 
During the past DU and TP-chasing seasons John's detailed DX  reports have 
provided many excellent tips here, and I enjoyed a very nice  conversation 
with him at the Grayland Motel on the evening of July 6th (a  few hours 
before we both chased Aussies and Kiwis). John has also been a  major factor in 
the booming growth of the Ultralight radio enthusiast group,  especially by 
creating very stylish DX Award Certificates which have proven  extremely 
popular. Have a safe trip, John, and thanks again for your many  positive 
contributions to the local TP-chasing gang.
 
73,  Gary DeBock
