[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Even though a TP band scan with the modified  ICF-2010 around 1300 
(prior to breakfast) showed promising carriers on  frequencies like 639, 648 
and 738, these signals seemed to fade greatly by  1335, the time that the 9' 
loop was set up in the cold back yard. The  result was a fairly mediocre 
session during which about 10 "big gun"  Asians produced fair to good audio, but 
little else. This was similar to a  pre-1330 propagation meltdown about a 
week ago, also noticed by Nick. Like  the situation yesterday (when Bruce 
thought that the TP's flew over  Seattle, and went south to me), this morning 
it seemed that the TP's flew over  Puyallup, and went south to Dennis, in 
Salmon Creek.
 
     There wasn't too much excitement here today,  although the Japanese 
"big guns" seemed to have decent strength. There was very  brief audio from 
936 (presumed Anhui) around 1417, and 729 again had a moderate  signal in CHMJ 
splatter around 1340 (but too weak to determine the language, on  this 
lackluster morning). One of the more ludicrous moments was tuning in  to NHK2 
Chinese language lessons on 828-JOBB at 1412, and finding a Chinese  
co-channel weakly on the frequency (maybe to provide practice opportunities for  the 
students?).
 
     The following were heard on a modified C.Crane SWP  Slider model (7.5" 
loopstick), inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned  passive loop (in 
the cold back yard). A modified Sony ICF-2010 (30"  loopstick) was used as an 
SSB spotting receiver:
