[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 3-22.. 1575 kHz Mystery

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Thanks for the TP reports from Dennis and Nick (so far). This morning  I 
was listening from 1340-1400 using the 7.5" loopstick PL-380 inductively  
coupled to the 7.5' PVC box loop, and found fairly good conditions, especially  
on the high band. 1503-JOUK (reported by Dennis) was also strong here, even  
stronger than the 594 kHz parallel. The most interesting discovery was a 
disco  music TP co-channel with 1575-VOA Thailand shortly before 1400, 
something never  before heard here.
 
594   JOAK    Fair signal at 1342, NHK1  program
738   BEL2    Chinese music at 1349, fair
747   JOIB     Good at 1339,  but declined in strength afterwards
1134  Mix      Weak mix at 1355,  apparently of JOQR and KBS
1377  China   In and out of noise, best at 1352
1503  JOUK   NHK1 program was strongest Japanese station at  1348, //594
1566  HLAZ   Japanese religious program strong at 1350; with  Chinese after 
1400
1575  Mix      VOA-Thailand's Asian language  discussion had competition 
from a station 
                          playing disco music repeatedly from 1353-1400, 
occasionally stronger
                          than VOA. A marginal recording is at

The 1575 kHz mix did not include Radio Farda (different null direction) or  
any spur from semi-local 1560-KZIZ (which was checked),  No idea who the TP 
 disco station was, but the same loop antenna did receive a weak Korean  
co-channel under 1503-JOUK in December. Maybe  the Philippines?
