Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-29

[Guy Atkins <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

Not much real time DXing this morning for me, as I slept in as much as I
could after staying up late last night.

I took a quick check of the band while Perseus was recording, and noted
about half of the catches you listed (things really perked up on my end of
town from 1430 UTC onwards).

Did you not catch 1593 kHz? The Chinese station here was in at a good level
and was the first to alert me to decent TP conditions. I was surprised to
hear audio on 558; I see from your logs that it was the Korean on the
frequency.

Nick and the guys on PEI must be having a lot of fun!

73,
