[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-25

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

 
Asian signals seemed to be recovering slightly this morning, especially those from the NHK and Korean big guns. 594, 693, 747, 828, 972, 1134 and 1566 all had vibrant TP audio sometime during the session, although most of the second-tier Asians didn't seem to be participating much in the recovery. One bright spot was 603-China (Hulun Buir?), which managed its best audio yet (during an underperforming month) with fair signals at 1335 over an anemic HLSA. 657-Pyongyang was in with a potent signal at 1343, but was playing dreary, undermodulated orchestral music, making it tough to distinguish it from the domestic splatter. The 1053-Jammer was another potent signal around 1343, having "programming" at least as interesting as that offered by 657-Pyongyang. 
 
 
738-BEL2 (Taiwan) was in and out with fair to good audio during most of the session (1300-1350) with its call-in talk program, and since there weren't very many interesting signals this morning, I listened to it for some time. A male host takes calls from different anonymous females (only) during the late night (in Taiwan) radio program, and as far as I can tell with my limited Mandarin Chinese ability, he is giving them advice on dating, and their love lives. Just when I was able to translate something juicy the 740-KCBS splatter would always kick in, undoubtedly causing me to miss the critical details of the conversation (and the male "expert's" advice). For some reason, the 740 San Francisco splatter never really seemed very irritating until this morning.
