Hello All,
Like Dennis, I found this morning's TP session to be one of the better
openings so far this spring, but here the propagation seemed slanted toward
Korea, including the best-ever signal from 1566-HLAZ here in Puyallup. With
the notable exception of 1134-JOQR, the other Asian signals seemed mediocre.
Once again DXing in the back yard with the modified PL-380 and 7.5' tuned
passive loop, the listening session ran from 1320-1350. Concentrating
mostly on the high band, the signals from 1377-CNR1, 1503-JOUK and VOA-1575 were
all well below normal, and 1476 kHz had just a trace of a carrier. Around
1327 1134-JOQR was the presumed station all alone on the frequency (unusual
here), with a male speech in Japanese
_http://www.mediafire.com/?jlyndtxzmun_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?jlyndtxzmun) . Unfortunately the other
Japanese stations were at mediocre levels for most of the morning.
Once again checking the high band stations around 1340, the signal from
religious broadcaster 1566-HLAZ was suddenly pounding in at astonishing
level, providing its best signal ever heard here in Puyallup:

signal was an indication of weird propagation favoring Korea, and a check of
972-HLCA also revealed strong audio, unusual here this time of year for HLCA.
At around 1340 here HLCA had the only significant TP audio on the low or
middle band, and it continued on right up until 1350 (when all the other TP's
had faded out) _http://www.mediafire.com/?jtdzijjzadb_
(http://www.mediafire.com/?jtdzijjzadb) . The only Chinese station to produce audio this
morning was 1377-CNR1, with weak music around 1333. Other than the weird
propagation favoring Korea, the morning would have been very forgettable-- but as
it was, it provided another example of why this hobby is so fascinating.
