[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-26

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     The  Asian regulars had no trouble  showing up here this morning, but 
second-tier TP audio was rare at best. On a  second day of fairly average 
conditions, there were a few minor TP surprises,  but DXers returning from the 
IRCA convention probably didn't miss much. The  back yard was wet and the 
weather was drizzly, but the TP's weren't exactly  raining down.
     729-JOCK and 693-JOAB both made fair  appearances through local 
splatter, and 738-Taiwan was at a good level  playing its standard Chinese pop 
music (after having apparently corrected its  severe transmitter issues from 
two days ago). 756-CNR1 had a decent signal  in KXL splatter, and the Asian 
lineup on 639, 648, 657, 666 and 675 took turns  producing fair-good audio. 
Other than these Asian regulars and a few other TP  "big guns," it was a 
fairly average September morning, and most of the  second-tier Asians never 
really came out of the noise. Since TP conditions  really weren't much better 
here yesterday, Dennis' superb reception of  multiple TP's at Silver Point (on 
the Oregon coast) with his stock  E100 Ultralight and SAT is really 
amazing!Cliff-top DXing above an ocean  beach may well be the wave of the future.
