[IRCA] Puyallup, WA (very early) TP's for 1-11

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Occasionally in January some excellent TP propagation occurs in the  early 
morning on the west coast, and today was apparently one of those  days. 
Despite the inconvenient local hour (0100), Asian signals were very strong  
around 0900 UTC on the 7.5" loopstick Tecsun PL-380 (assisted by a 3' PVC  
Loop), including the following:
 
594   JOAK               Strong NHK1 program at 0910
657  Pyongyang           Strident Korean YL tirade at 0925
738  Taiwan Fisheries  Chinese pop music program quite  strong at 0943, 
including KBS (HKLG) competition 
                                      in this MP3

747   JOIB                    Strongest Japanese signal of the morning; 
English program at 0915
756   CNR1                 Fair  with Chinese program at 0919
774   JOUB                  Strong signal at 0920 in KTTH splatter
828   JOBB                  Another strong NHK2 signal at 0935
945  China                 Unusually  strong Chinese program at 0935, 
presumed CNR1
954   JOKR                  Rare appearance in KJR splatter around 0940
1053 UnID Chinese     Weak signal over and under Korean  Jammer around 0933
1134  JOQR                 Mixing weakly with KBS station for most of 
session
1377  China                Fair  signal with occasional strong peaks
1566  HLAZ                 Good strength and modulation with Korean program 
at 0918, as recorded in this  MP3

In general the TP signals were much stronger at this bizarre hour than they 
 have been during recent sunrise listening sessions, and it was fun to 
chase them  on the newly modified Tecsun PL-380 (the $45 DSP wonder).
