[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-31

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Asian propagation was prettyÂscary this morning, with even most of the big guns reduced to ghostly heterodynes. The frightfully bad conditions were a step downhill from yesterday, with evenÂthe big guns like 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA sounding half dead. 
 
At my 1310 start time the band was in a morbid state, with only 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB managing eerie threshold audio. Around 1345 the Korean big gun 972-HLCA rose from the dead in a halfhearted sort of way, getting murdered by the 970-Portland splatter. A ghostly heterodyne on 738 around 1400 turned out to be Tahiti, which couldn't manage anything better than pitiful French moans in the San Francisco hash.Â972-HLCA expired early before sunrise enhancement at 1430, which only seemed to reduce 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB to ghostly levels in theÂfrightful domestic splatter. The propagation was hopeless, and by 1450 all the Asians hadÂexpired intoÂa comatose state. In summary, the session was far from a thriller, and a pretty grim reminder of how an overactive sun can send Asian propagation straight into the grave.
