[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-26

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

Asian results here this morning were very similar to those reported by Dennis, as a band which was comatose at 1405 came to life with a sunrise enhancement boost favoring the upper band TP's.

The session started off in a dreary fashion at 1405 with no Asian audio (or even carriers), but at 1415 a couple of low band NHK big guns (594-JOAK and 693-JOAB) broke the ice with fair audio in and out. Around 1420 the usual collection of high band TP's made their appearances, with 1377-CNR1, 1503-JOUK, 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 all fading in and out with fair audio, along with the Korean big guns 972-HLCA and 1134-KBS. From 1430 on the high band Asians definitely got the best of the morning's propagation as 1575-VOA hit some very good peaks with its male/ female Asiatic language speech, becoming the strongest performer of the session. Although the high band Asians were favored this morning both 594-JOAK (good on peaks) and 603-HLSA (fair audio in and out) were still around at 1440, as well as 972-HLCA at a good level on peaks. Overall it was a fairly average morning, but much better than the dire predictions related to unfavorable solar conditions.

73 and Good DX,
