[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultra Light TP's for 9-15

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
As Dennis noted, the TP propagation took a drastic downturn this morning,  
and it was the worst day of September for Asiatic propagation here. At the  
beginning it seemed like the TP's would stay in hibernation, but since the 
9'  loop had never been "shut out" in TP reception before, it became kind of 
a fun  challenge to see what it could receive on such a poor morning.
     It was kind of a moral victory when the  1053-Korean Jammer broke 
through the noise with a fair signal at 1333, followed  by 594-JOAK, and a weak 
mix on 1134 kHz. 1566-HLAZ was in and out with poor  to fair audio at this 
time, and 828-JOBB also made it above the noise  level, as did 747-JOIB. It 
was certainly nothing to shout about, but with the TP  conditions practically 
in rigor mortis, it was fun chasing rare  Asiatic audio. The frightful 
conditions were no match for the scary-sized  loop.
 
The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick)  
inductively coupled to a 9' PVC tuned passive loop in the back yard:
 
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Rising above the noise level at  1334; the best of 
the near-
              comatose Japanese this morning

666  JOBK  Osaka, Japan  Threshold audio around 1315; gone  very quickly
747  JOIB  Sapporo, Japan  Weak audio no match for KXL  splatter at 1340 
828  JOBB  Osaka, Japan  Barely above the noise level around  1325
1053  Korean Jammer  Fair signal breaking through the 1050  splatter at 
1333;
              the "strongest" TP received this morning

1134  UnID  Weak mix, apparently JOQR-KBS, rising above noise  level at 1341
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Poor to fair audio with  Japanese religious 
program
1575  VOA Ban Rassom, Thailand  Threshold audio around 1314
 
73 and Good DX,
