[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-12

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
The Asiatic conditions were generally good here this morning, with the  
first reception of the season for 675-VOV (Vietnam), and a couple of unusual  
stations on 729 and 1053 kHz. The "big gun" Japanese and the Chinese stations 
 were down a little in strength, but North Korea seemed stronger than  
ever. Like Dennis, I noticed the unusually strong signal on 729 kHz and  made a 
recording through the 730 Vancouver splatter, which had the typical  
Pyongyang BS shouting Korean YL under the splatter (ink below).  Although that 
station was heard here once before last October mixing  with China, it's rare 
for anything to show up on 729 kHz here, and when  something does, it's 
usually China. The Chinese stations generally did not  manage much audio this 
morning, and stayed in the carrier category except for  756-CNR1 and 1377. There 
was another mystery station on 1053 kHz under the  Jammer-- maybe the same 
one Dennis heard. An MP3 seemed to have shouted  Korean (like on 729 kHz), 
but nothing definite could be made out. In  summary, it was a pretty 
interesting morning!
