[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-5

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Asian results here this morning were somewhat similar to those reported by Dennis, minus the excitement on 1215 of course (there is an exotic Spanish station in Federal Way on 1210, ruining the frequency here).
 
At the 1410 start of my session quite a few low band Asians were already in audio, including 558-HLQH (fair), 594-JOAK (good), 603-HLSA (fair), 657-Pyongyang (poor) and a presumed 738-BEL2 (poor). The high band was relatively subdued at the time, with only 1593-CNR1 (fair) in and out with Chinese speech. Around 1420 signals came up on the middle band frequencies, with 972-HLCA hitting a very good peak around 1425 (although "Freedom 970" in Portland didn't want to free up the frequency). Propagation on the high band was also boosted around 1430, with 1377-CNR1, 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA coming out of the noise to join 1593-CNR1 with fair peaks in and out of the domestic splatter. As has been typical here recently all of the Asians bailed in unison around 1440, as if falling off of a cliff. Best signal of the morning (by far) was 972-HLCA around 1425, which would have been very impressive if not for the 970-Portland splatter. Overall the session was a fairly good improvement over!
  the past few days, although probably typical for March propagation.
