[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-17

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Richard (in Oklahoma) apparently picked the  perfect time to chase 
TP's with his PL-310 and 7.5" loopstick, since Asiatic  signals were most 
vibrant here around 1330, including a  few second-tier Asians making modest 
appearances. The 1035 and 1377 CNR1  stations were in audio, and the Chinese from 
918 to 945 were knocking on the  door. Like yesterday, TP propagation 
dropped off slowly after that,  however, with only a few "big guns" sticking 
around until a fairly good sunrise  enhancement around 1500 (which simply tended 
to make the anemic "big guns"  sound healthy again). Asian propagation did 
continue for a longer period this  morning, though, with an unusually 
persistent 972-HLSA  still around at 1530.
     The sunrise enhancement around 1500 did boost up  the 648-VOR (Korean) 
and 738-BEL2 (Chinese) programs, and provide some nice  signals from the 
594 and 828 Japanese powerhouses. During  972-HLSA's moderate fade-in around 
1525 there was a weak Chinese  co-channel on the frequency, but Asian 
propagation collapsed well before  any ID clues were heard. Most TP-DXers remember 
this time last year, when strong  Chinese co-channels were showing up not 
only on 972 but on 594, 747, 828 and  other "big gun" frequencies. The current 
season seems to provide few such  occasions. 
 
     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:
