[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-3

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     The IRCA reflector seems delayed so it's unclear  how others did this 
morning, but the Asiatic propagation here seemed  to favor China again, 
although not at the exceptional level noted  yesterday. The Japanese were at 
their usual strength but the  Russians seemed more vibrant than usual, with  
549-Radio Mayak being received here (despite 550 splatter) for an  all-time 
new TP logging, which was the ninth of the new DX  season. 
 
     This morning's rather average Asian propagation  didn't solve either 
of the TP "leads" from yesterday, though--  639-CNR1 was all alone with fair 
signals (and no co-channel) around 1405 this  morning, and despite repeated 
efforts to duplicate the 1170-VOA  loggings made by Bruce and Tom yesterday, 
the best that could be managed  was reception of an UnID Chinese station 
around 1355 in the null of  KPUG (which faded out under KPUG at the TOH, of 
course). Probably the  most unusual occurrence of the morning was a booming 
signal from 936-China  (presumed Anhui) at 1405, by far the strongest this 
station has ever been  received here. After hearing the monster 936 carrier on 
the ICF-2010 spotting  receiver and tuning in to the station on the ULR 
(expecting some nice Chinese),  I was surprised to hear some American classic 
pop music. The Chinese lineup  on 918, 927 and 945 kHz were also in weak audio 
at the time, but this "team"  faded out in unison around 1415, along with 
the rest of Asia. In general, it was  another interesting TP-DX morning, but 
with propagation not quite as  exciting as during the previous two days.
 
     The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider  model (7.5" 
loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop  (in the back 
yard):
