Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your comments, and of course the  DU propagation advantage 
that you and Walt enjoy in Victoria is something which is completely 
absent here. Probably the best conclusion that one could make is that 
nobody can enjoy excellent propagation to all areas.

Nigel and Steve also regularly receive DU's which are completely absent 
here, and Bruce in Seattle once had 729-JOCK at a strong level on a 
morning when I had only 729-China (equally strong). Even Guy (4 miles 
southest of me) can receive DU's that never produce a trace here. On 
the other hand, I've had vibrant signals from stations like 738-Taiwan 
and 936-Anhui that never produce a trace for Guy, at exactly the same 
listening moments. Guy and I have come to the conclusion that there is 
some kind of a propagation border between us, which is probably related 
to extreme differences in soil material (mine is fertile valley soil, 
while his is rocky hill material).

73, Gary

Finally got to listen to your recordings Gary, and then to my own SDR
recording at the same times.   Nice location you have there for
Asiatics, and the equipment you are using is obviously up to the task
of snagging them.

936 has been nothing like that here, just the barest audio traces on
7 October, with pips on the hour.   I think the only other Chinese
heard here this season has been 1593 once (and Taiwan once on 1161),
though I'm not listening as much as I'd like.

Please keep up the good work, along with Dennis, Walt, Steve and
Nigel (and of course anyone further east).

best wishes,

Nick
