Hello All,
Korean and Chinese stations came back in force on the low band here
this morning, with vibrant mixes on both 603 and 657. Yesterday's
topic of conversation (with Nick) 603-HLSA was in a snarl with China
(Hulun Buir?) at the start of the session at 1245, and steadily
built up strength until its pop music at 1255 briefly pegged the
PL-380's S/N display at the 25 maximum (the first time that it's
ever managed this in Puyallup over 7 years). 603-China was
persistent, though, and it made the frequency pretty wild all
session long. 657-Pyongyang was also in a mix with China (Henan?)
for much of the session, making its tirades sound pretty throttled
at times. 639-CNR1 had the frequency all to itself for a huge signal
at 1318 (the best heard here in 2 years), and 558-HLQH had no
trouble keeping up a nice parallel with the monster-signal 603-HLSA.
The usual TP big guns were vibrant on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828, 972,
1053, 1134, 1287, 1566 and 1575 this morning, with 594-JOAK and
972-HLCA especially strong. The session was one of the best in
recent memory for the low-band Koreans and Chinese, making the
morning sound like something worthy of mid-October.
603 HLSA Namyang, S. Korea Very strong with pop music over China
at 1255; this recording pegged the PL-380's S/N at the
strongest point

603 China (Hulun Buir?) Temporarily dominant over HLSA at 1254, but the
Korean station's pop music eventually dominates
strongly at the end of the MP3
