[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-17

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     The TP propagation here this morning  seemed a lot closer to Nigel's 
positive version than to Dennis' results, so  maybe the "parallel universes" 
are finally coming into convergence? In any case,  it's safe to say that the 
doldrums of the past two days are over, although it  didn't quite seem to 
be the best day of the season here, as Bruce  experienced.
     Once again DXing on the 9' loop, there  was strong audio from 648-VOR, 
657-Pyongyang and 675-Vietnam at  times, as well as occasional S9 audio 
from 594-JOAK, the 1053-Korean Jammer  and the 1134 kHz "TP Convention" 
frequency. Interesting signals were  on 828 kHz (a co-channel under JOBB) and 1044 
kHz (presumed China). Both  603 and 1134 kHz had nice TP mixes, and a 738 
kHz co-channel under a  weakened BEL2 sounded more Japanese than Korean (but 
faded before a parallel  check could be made). This TP-chasing session was a 
refreshing  change from the mediocre situations of yesterday and Wednesday, 
and it  certainly seems that Asiatic propagation is getting back on track 
just in  time for an exciting weekend.
 
The stations below were received on a C.Crane SWP Slider model  (7.5" 
loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in  the back 
yard):
