[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-1

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     The new month brought the best Asian signals for  quite a while here, 
including a very decent sunrise enhancement (also apparently  noted by Walt, 
during his 1440 check with the Perseus and ALA 100 loop).  Even though 
nothing new or rare was heard, it was a refreshing change from the  late October 
doldrums.
     As usual, the TP's were fairly decent around  1300, with the NHK "big 
guns' and several other common Asians producing  fair-good audio. Unlike 
previous days there was no mid-session propagation  swoon, however, and signals 
stayed fairly stable right up until a  pretty decent sunrise enhancement, 
which brought 639-CNR1 out of the noise  with a fair to good signal. 738-BEL2 
also had its signal enhanced up to a good  level, and 1566-HLAZ and 
1575-VOA came out of the noise. Listening to the  639-CNR1 signal with headphones 
allowed detection of the weak,  mystery co-channel again (which is not // 
with 594 or 1134), with its  hollow-sounding Asiatic language speech. Even 
though the chances of this  IDing this station during the rest of this 
lackluster Fall Season seem  like slim to none, considering the recent poor 
conditions, it's probably best to  be thankful for the chance to even have such a TP 
mystery in  November.
 
     The following were heard on a C. Crane SWP Slider  model (7.5" 
loopstick), inductively coupled to a 6' sided "nasty weather" PVC  tuned passive 
loop (in the rainy and windy back yard). A modified ICF-2010  (30" loopstick) 
was used as an SSB spotting receiver:
