[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-27

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
 
It was an excellent morning for low-band Asians here, with 603-HLSA and 648-VOR leading the show around 1535. The listening session was short (1530-1550), but quite a few vibrant TP's managed to show up on both the low and high band during this period.
 
 
At 1530 it was pretty obvious that this morning wouldn't follow the recent miserable trend, with 594-JOAK, 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA all vibrant at times. Around 1535 both 603-HLSA (with typical long-set easy listening music and deep-voiced Korean male announcer) and 648-VOR (Korean service, with male and female speakers) managed some of their best signals of the entire season. 639-CNR1 was also in and out with good male-female Chinese news around this time, and 657-Pyongyang was also showing up with its ancient music. The high band wasn't bad either, with 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 all in and out with good signals around 1545. In summary it was a very interesting session, and it felt great to be back in the TP-DXing chase after taking a two week break to finish the "Heathkit-like" PL-380 7.5" loopstick modification article (link below).
