[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7



Hello All,
 
     Asian propagation seemed slightly down this  morning compared to 
yesterday, although the TP "big guns" from  Japan, Korea, China and Russia had no 
problem showing up with decent audio. The  weaker Chinese stations were in 
and out of the noise, while the 639 and 756  CNR1 stations had no weak 
co-channels like yesterday. 936  kHz continued its October "big gun" performance, 
and the Korean Jammer was  near full strength. 
     Thanks to Bruce's information on 936-Anhui's  English programming, I 
was able to investigate the station's format a  little more this morning. 
During the 1400-1415 time period (late Thursday night  in China) the station 
apparently has a Chinese version of NHK2's Radio  English Conversation 
program, in which a female Chinese speaker gives commentary  on an English speech. 
This morning's lesson (during fair to good  936-Anhui signals) was on the 
English speech delivered yesterday  morning around this same time. During this 
month of October, 936-Anhui would be  a good bet for those DXers needing 
their first China reception, along with  639-CNR1, 756-CNR1, 981-CNR1, 
1044-CRI (in Japanese from  1330-1430) and 1377-CNR1.
 
     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). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an SSB  spotting 
receiver:
