[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-1

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
First of all, congratulations to Tim Tromp in Michigan for his extremely long range reception of 612-ABC in Brisbane-- truly an outstanding new DX catch! Like Nigel has reported Asian propagationÂimproved somewhat this morning from yesterday's morbid session, with several second-tier TP's managing fair audio along with the usual vibrant big guns in the predawn darkness around 1300. Unfortunately sunrise enhancement was pretty much a fizzler,Âleaving only the Japanese and Korean big guns to finish out the disappointing session. 
 
At my 1235 start time theÂAsians soundedÂpromising, with 603-HLSA (fair), 738-BEL2 (poor to fair), 1044-CRI (fair) and 1323-CRIÂ(fair) in and out of the domestic splatter, along with good signals from 972-HLCA and theÂJapanese big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828. Around 1315 theÂband seemed to settle into a malaise, though, with the second tier Asians slowly dropping into the noise. ByÂthe 1400ÂTOH 738-BEL2 was the only one of these still around at a weak level, but 603-HLSA did revive somewhat in strength up to a fair level later on. Sunrise enhancement around 1430 didn't really boost up anything except for 972-HLCA, which hit a very good level with Korean music around 1440. 603-HLSA did comeÂback up to an anemic level with pop music at 1443 but the second-tier Asians on 738, 1044 and 1323 were long gone.ÂThe Japanese big guns didn't seem very impressed with sunrise enhancement either, with only 594-JOAK still aroundÂat aÂfair level by 1450. Nigel's report was very interesting, since he reported good Asian reception around the same time that Asian signalsÂwere tanking out here. It seems likeÂAlberta's superbÂsunrise enhancement used up most of the Asians' limited energy this morning.
