Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight DU's for 9-6

[Bill Whitacre <bw@xxxxxxx>]

1098 is often 'seen' but not heard out east.  I keep an almost daily vigil on 738 early am - 10-12utc depending on the season - and often see a trace on the Perseus screen if/when 738 is showing signs of life.  Never any audio though, as you point out.  Heck, even in Grayland it's hard to pull much audio from them -- lots of carrier but little audio.

Here's a sample from a few days running in Sept. 2010 when DU/TP stuff was coming in to Alexandria, VA as 'traces' -- no audio:

I missed them this morning, heard instead a tentative reception of 2NR with a weak signal.  1098 V7AB Marshall Island has a nice carrier here nearly very morning, wish we could get them to stay on the air for a few hours after their 1130 utc sign off. With 35 kw they might be heard in the Midwest depending on any domestics on 1100 kHz. Congratulations guys.
