[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-13

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
It was another good Asiatic TP morning here, with the first all-time new TP 
 logged here from the new DX season. To investigate mysteries on 729, 1053  
and other frequencies, I switched over to the 9' sided PVC tuned passive  
loop this morning. WWF wrestling experience is helpful in handling  this 
monster box loop, but it immediately made a difference in sorting out  the TP 
mysteries. A TP was back on 729 kHz this morning in 730-CHMJ  splatter, this 
time with Japanese at a good level. It was immediately  identified from the 
594 kHz parallel as JOCK in Nagoya, an all-time new TP here  (thanks, Bruce). 
This may have been yesterday's 729 mystery station,  but will keep 
reviewing yesterday's MP3 for confirmation. 1053  kHz was checked repeatedly with 
the 9' loop this morning, but the Jammer was  overpowering at S9+, drowning 
out the competition. Other frequencies like 603,  738 and 891 kHz had 
interesting TP mixes, but there wasn't enough time to  sort them all out. For those 
curious about the appearance of a 9' sided PVC box  loop (and the relatively 
puny DXer), a photo is posted at _http://www.mediafire.com/i/?jraw1yly2ff_

594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Very strong with Japanese  conversation, 1308
603  (TP-Mix) Korean speech (presumed HLSA) and music (presumed  China)
           fighting it  out at a fair-good level around 1319; no clear 
winner

675  VOV  Hanoi, Vietnam  Weak Vietnamese audio in and  out at 1319
729  JOCK  Nagoya, Japan  All-time new TP here, with good  signals through
          CHMJ splatter at  1316  
_http://www.mediafire.com/?uyyt3mcmm9djse6_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?uyyt3mcmm9djse6)  
738  (TP-Mix)  Chinese pop music (BEL2-Taiwan) and Korean speech  (HLKG)
          mixing at good  level; Taiwan had the edge as usual
747  JOIB  Sapporo, Japan  Booming Japanese signal, almost  splattering KXL
756  CNR1  (presumed) Chinese-type music playing hide and seek  around 1327
774  JOUB  Akita, Japan  Great signal with NHK2 program,  moderate KTTH
828  JOBB  Osaka, Japan  Fair-good through most of sunrise  enhancement
891  (TP-mix)  Japanese speech (JOHK) dominant, with unknown  music way
          underneath
927  China (presumed)  Carrier flirting with audio for most of  morning
936  China (presumed)  Audio flirting with carrier for most of  morning
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Good strength with Korean  conversation, 1332

_http://www.mediafire.com/?xtht62w3svhcthd_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?xtht62w3svhcthd) 
1134  (TP-Mix)  Japanese conversation (JOQR) over Korean speech  (KBS) with
           weak Chinese  music (CNR1); a real convention at bizarre strength
1377 China (presumed)  Weak audio that dived when investigated,  1320
1566 HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Strong as usual with Japanese  religious program
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Fair-good with male/ female  Asiatic
           conversation  at 1334, but with typical deep fades
1593  China (presumed)  Yet another Chinese station with anemic  threshold
           audio,  following the general Chinese trend of the morning
 
73 and Good DX, 
Gary DeBock
