[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-8

Hello All,

Asian signals were dramatically improved this morning in both strength and variety as the session finally featured a decent sunrise enhancement boost. The Korean big guns on 972 and 1053 sounded potent indeed, and 1134-KBS  rode the sunrise boost to a pretty vibrant level.

After reading Nick's results I tried an earlier (1230 UTC) start time, and both 972-HLCA and 1287-JOHR were already doing quite well in the total darkness. By 1300 HLCA was on a romp, along with the 1053-Jammer and occasional good signals from 693-JOAB and 1134-KBS. The first sign of daylight around 1305 brought a presumed 738-BEL2 out of the noise at a weak level with male Chinese conversation (apparently the standard call-in talk program), along with anemic signals from 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang.  1134-KBS hit its peak strength fairly late around 1325, with Korean pop music at a good level (finally prevailing over Vancouver splatter). 693-JOAB also came up to a decent level around this time, becoming the best Japanese performer of the generous session. Overall the propagation was greatly improved over that of the previous week, and hopefully an indication of better days to come.
