[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-13

Hello All,

Well, once again my morning results were the direct opposite of Nigel's-- I had some marginal Asian TP reception on the low band, but no trace of DU propagation :-)

At my 1230 UTC start time a couple of NHK die-hards (594-JOAK and 693-JOAB) were the only Asians with audio, and the Korean big guns on 972, 1053 and 1566 weren't even managing a carrier (highly unusual here). 594-JOAK actually sounded pretty healthy around 1309 with the first trace of daylight, but 693-JOAB was only at a fair level, having a rough time with 690-Vancouver splatter. The Japanese trend continued with 747-JOIB and 828-JOBB coming out of the noise to reach poor levels around 1315, along with ghostly deep-voiced male speech on 603 (presumed HLSA) around 1320. After yesterday's stellar performance by 972-HLCA the complete lack of any Korean propagation on 972 or 1053 sounded pretty bizarre, and with the exception of a persistent 594-JOAK the Japanese die-hards were quick to bail around 1330. Overall the session was fairly lackluster because of the poor solar conditions, although JOAK did manage fair to good signals for almost an hour (1230-1330).
