[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-7

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Asian propagation was improved somewhat this morning, with greater variety and strength in both the Japanese and Korean signals. After a promising start the session finally turned into another big gun revue, however, with theÂusual diehards on 594, 693, 747, 972, 1053, 1287Âand 1566 having the only vibrant audio. 
 
At my 1235 start time the Asians already showed some potential in the predawn darkness, withÂ594-JOAK, 972-HLCA, 1287-JOHRÂand 1566-HLAZÂall managingÂgood audio in and out. HLAZ's potent signal fizzled out pretty quickly after 1245, though, and never came back with much strength.Â693-JOAB and 747-JOIB added to the Japanese trend with good signals around 1315, and it seemed that the stage was set for a nice sunrise enhancementÂboost to make the session really interesting. This never happened, though-- with the exception ofÂweak Chinese audio on 738 around 1350 (presumed BEL2), ghostly audio on 1044 (presumed CRI) and a fair signalÂfrom 1503-JOUK (// 594) at 1355 nothing unusual showed up.ÂThe usual NHK and Korean diehards had the only vibrant audio,Âand their strength was about the same as in the predawn darkness. The only exception was 693-JOAB after 1400, which had an unusually potent run free of CBU splatter for about 7 minutes until the band folded. This was another one of thoseÂrare October mornings when neither 603-HLSA nor 657-Pyongyang managed any audio here. Best signal of theÂsession was from the Korean big gun 972-HLCA withÂits pop music around 1357, although 747-JOIB would have had the best signal with itsÂNHK2 English lessons around 1323 if not for the oppressive Portland splatter. Overall the session was fairly lackluster, but an improvement over yesterday.
