[IRCA] TP DX for 10/1 from Gary DeBock

Hello All,ÂWhat started out as a miserable session in the predawn darkness wasÂrescued somewhat by a late sunrise enhancement boost, which brought a couple of big gun Asians out of the noiseÂup toÂa respectable level. One of them even managed to peg the PL-380 S/N briefly, in one of the strangest comebacks in recent memory.ÂThe band wasÂdreary indeed during the predawn darkness from 1250-1315, with only 738 (presumed BEL2) and 936 (presumed Anhui) flirting with audio in a halfhearted way. Around 1320 there were weak signs of life from 594-JOAK, 603-HLSA, 747-JOIB and 972-HLCA, although none of them couldÂsustain their poor audio for more than a few seconds at a time. It was looking like the first day of October might be a real clunker, when increasing sunlight around 1345 suddenly brought both 747-JOIB (with NHK2 Chinese lessons) and 972-HLCA (with a Korean radio drama) out of the noise up to a good level. 747-JOIB stayed at that level fighting the Portland splatter for the rest of sunrise enhancement, but 972-HLCA just kept getting stronger, finally pegging the PL-380 S/N display briefly around 1352. Other than these two diehards 657-Pyongyang and the 1053-Jammer also got some minor benefit from the late Korean propagation surge, reaching fair audio in and out before t he band collapsed around 1400. BestÂAsian audio of the morning (excellent) was from 972-HLCA around 1352--Âwhich had been comatose for 90% of the session before its late comeback. To put things in perspective, though, onlyÂa few big gun Asians showed up with any kind of life this morning, and nothing remotely exotic. Â972Â HLCAÂÂ Dangjin, S.
