[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-28

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Asiatic signals rebounded somewhat during a  pre-sunrise early session 
this morning, with several "big gun" TP's strong  enough to produce vibrant 
audio on the "barefoot" 7.5" loopstick SWP Slider  model. Even though 
nothing new or rare was heard during this 1300-1350 period,  it was the best 
Asiatic propagation observed here for about a week (despite the  unfavorable 
results reported by Richard and Bill this morning).
 
     972-HLCA had a huge signal for a few  minutes around 1315 (before the 
9' loop was set up in the back yard),  as did 747-JOIB around 1325. The 
other "big gun" TP's (594, 738, 774, 828, 1134  and 1566) also had fair to good 
signals during this period, and even some  second-tier Asian stations were 
showing promise. The "sunrise enhancement"  didn't enhance much of anything 
this morning, however, with almost all TP's  taking a slow dive into the 
noise from 1400-1430. The only exception was a  stubborn 1377 kHz station 
(presumed CNR1) producing rare, weak audio through the  1380-KRKO splatter right 
up until 1430, when the entire Asian  lineup collapsed in unison (about half 
an hour earlier than usual). In  general, it was refreshing to have some 
vibrant TP signals again, even with  the premature band collapse. Hopefully 
those DXers closer to salt water were  able to find some nice TP's during the 
favorable 1300-1400 period this  morning.
 
     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 rainy 
back yard). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as  an SSB spotting 
receiver:
