[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-18



 
Hello All,
 
     Asian TP's this morning were far from vibrant  here, as the west coast 
apparently suffered through the same  propagation drop off described by 
Richard and Bill previously. TP signals  started off at a fair level around 
1330, but again went steadily downhill from  there.
    With Asian signal levels reduced from  yesterday, it was slim pickings 
until a modest sunrise enhancement  around 1500, which managed only to 
restore several "big gun" TP's to a  fair to good level. 594, 747, 828, 972 and 
1134 came back out of the noise,  along with a few brief appearances by 
648-VOR, 657-Pyongyang, 738-BEL2 and  1377-CNR1. Pyongyang's rickety transmitter 
continues to muffle the  modulated audio, thankfully silencing its own 
tirades (as if anybody really  listened to them). Overall results were modest at 
best, and provided  further evidence that the "December Doldrums" may 
already be knocking  on the door. 
 
     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.
