Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-19

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Walt,

Thanks for your comments on 972-HLCA, 1593-CNR1, the 1053-Jammer and 603 kHz.

Before this DX season started I wondered whether the declining solar conditions would allow for much Asiatic TP-DXing excitement-- but it seems like at least some of the Asiatics are pretty vibrant. The memorable 603-Hulun Buir fade-in 3 days ago was something completely unexpected in such an "off" season, as was 972-HLCA pegging the S/N readout on the PL-380 this morning.

When the vibrant South Pacific DX signals on the Oregon cliffs this summer are added into the picture, it certainly seems to me that Medium Wave transoceanic DX is alive and well this year :-)

73, Gary

Gary, I agree that HLCA 972 is doing particularly well this season.
Last season's star had to be CNR-1 on 1593.  This year, barely
anything there, although the upper band hasn't really been very good
lately.  Personally, the jammer on 1053 is pretty close to what I
heard last year.  Very consistent in it's strength.  I'm still
struggling to get much out of 603.  Nick is doing much better in this
regard, it seems.......73,   Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC

display at the 25 maximum around 1335 (for the first time ever). The newly 
dominant 603-Hulun Buir again managed only fair audio (along with 738-Taiwan and 
936-Anhui), but 1044-CRI's Japanese external service was at a steady weak level 
for most of the morning. The 1053-Korean Jammer continues to be unusually 
vibrant almost every morning-- maybe after some kind of power boost, or antenna 
change?
