[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-18

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

Yesterday's halfhearted Asiatic recovery was stopped in its tracks this morning as the latest solar tantrum made the band "go south" once again. Despite the auroral propagation 738-Tahiti wasn't doing particularly well from 1330-1410, and the only fair audio was was 1575-VOA, which because of its southerly location has been able to ride out the solar roller coaster pretty well this season. A bizarre twist this morning were the Japanese and Korean signals being completely wiped out, but poor audio from the Chinese on 603, 1044 and 1377 coming out of the noise for a few seconds occasionally. Since these Chinese signals presumably follow the same propagation path as the Japanese and Koreans, it would seem that the sour propagation should have wiped them out along with the Japanese and Koreans-- but that certainly wasn't the case here. 603-Hulun Buir was the best of the Chinese this morning, but its signal was just barely strong enough to identify the language. In general, it wa!
 s another mediocre morning, but the uneven propagation made it halfway interesting.
