[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-16

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     As Bruce and Nigel have already reported, the  Asiatic TP signals were 
stronger this morning than yesterday, but it certainly  wasn't one of the 
season's most impressive sessions. In one of the more bizarre  twists of 
western Washington propagation, 729-China (presumed Jiangxi) was  coming in here 
at a decent level at exactly the same time that  Bruce reported  729-JOCK 
(//594)-- from 1345-1350. 729-China had been  managing a vibrant signal in 
CHMJ splatter since the backyard listening session  began around 1335, and its 
strongest peak was right around 1346, when Bruce  reported 729-JOCK. How 
weird is that, for 40 miles of separation?
 
     Low-band TP's were generally back up to strength  after yesterday's 
miserable session, although for some strange reason 639-CNR1  seemed to be 
missing in action. 738-BEL2 was back with fair Chinese (and a raspy  carrier), 
and 657-Pyongyang's comical programming was back at a strong  level, 
unfortunately. 648-VOR was vibrant, along with the low-band Japanese. The  middle 
band also had some nice signals on 1035 and 1044, although 1053 and 1134  
were not up to their usual strength. Except for 729-China's strong stand,  
though, the session was rather forgettable-- and hopefully just part of a  
transition to better TP propagation
in the next few days.
