[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-18

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     For some strange reason, the Asian TP propagation  here this morning 
seemed quite a bit better than what Nick (and  Richard and Bill) reported. 
Although it definitely wasn't one of the season's  best sessions, it did 
provide some interesting signals on certain  frequencies.
 
     The 639-CNR1 mystery co-channel chose this morning  to rise up and be 
heard, and it became dominant over a weakened CNR1 for about 3  minutes, 
around 1412. Because of its unusual strength it became clear that  the mystery 
station's language was not Korean after all, and a check of the 1134  KBS3 
parallel confirmed that it was not the 50 kw KBS3 station on the  frequency. 
A check of 594-NHK1 likewise confirmed that it was not an NHK1  station. The 
language sounds similar to one of the Southeast Asian dialects  broadcast 
on 1575-VOA, but if anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate any  leads:

     Besides the 639 mystery the low-band Asiatic TP's  were fairly strong 
this morning, with the usual regulars (639-CNR1, 648-VOR,  657- Pyongyang) 
putting in decent signals. Mid-band regulars like 1044-CRI,  1053-Jammer and 
1134-KBS were vibrant at times, and there were traces of audio  on Chinese 
frequencies like 756 and 936. The Japanese didn't sound so strong,  however. 
In summary, it was a fairly average morning here for mid-October, but  with 
some extra excitement because of the 639 mystery station's strong  fade-in.
 
     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 36 
degree back yard). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an  SSB 
spotting receiver:
