[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-20

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Asian propagation this morning had an interesting  pattern, as more and 
more Chinese stations produced fair audio across  the MW spectrum, but without 
any increase in the "big gun" Asiatic TP  strength. Somewhat rare (for here) 
1053-Mandarin Chinese audio was received  at 1333 at a decent level as the 
Korean Jammer faded temporarily,  and both 1035 (Chinese) and 1044 (Japanese 
from CRI in China) were fairly  vibrant. The NHK big guns were coming in 
with average strength, as  were the "best bets" from some other Asian 
countries (648-VOR, 657-Pyongyang,  and 675-Vietnam). Like Patrick, I had traces of 
a presumed Thailand under  891-JOHK, and also had a presumed China under 
828-JOBB (both of which have  been fairly regular here this week). 
Congratulations to Patrick for his  first ULR-TP reception on the modified PL-380, and 
also to Richard Allen of  Perry, Oklahoma for receiving 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB 
and 774-JOUB on his modified  Tecsun PL-310 this morning.
 
The following 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:
