[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-17

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

Asiatic TP results here this morning were much closer to Walt's dreary version than the decent signals reported by Dennis, but with some bizarre twists that didn't seem to happen elsewhere. Remaining traces of the latest solar tantrum wiped out all the low-band TP signals except for a ghostly 594-JOAK (and the season's new regular, 738-Tahiti). While the low band was very poor the high band wasn't bad at all, with 1575-VOA having some of its best signals of the season (although highly erratic). The high band big guns on 1134, 1287 and 1566 also had no problem being heard, even when the normally strong Koreans on 972 and 1053 were completely comatose. It was almost like the band had a high pass filter for Asiatic TP's with frequencies above 1100. 1575-VOA's signal was unusual in having some decent audio throughout most of sunrise enhancement, instead of its usual pattern of dropping in and out of the noise. In general the session was another strange example of twisted propaga!
 tion, which seems to be pretty common at this point in the season.
