[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-6

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Asian signals improvedÂdramatically over yesterday's mediocre session, with an exceptional signal from 594-JOAKÂearly on around 1415.ÂThe Korean big guns on 972, 1053 and 1566 also came back from yesterday's slump, whileÂ603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang made fair appearances for a brief time. Unlike most recent sessions the high band also showed some signs of life, with fair to good signals from 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 late in sunrise enhancement. 
 
My session started at 1405 with an excellent signal alreadyÂpounding in from 594-JOAK, along with very good signals from theÂNHK2 big guns on 693Âand 774. 603-HLSA was in and out at a fair level with Korean pop music hosted by the deep-voiced maleÂaround this time, along with anemic Korean female tirades from 657-Pyongyang. 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer couldn't manage the same strengthÂas the Japanese big guns during the predawn darkness but did hit occasional good levels.Â594-JOAK hit its peak around 1414 with Japanese female conversation at an exceptional level-- far and away the best Asian signal of the morning. SunriseÂenhancement around 1430Âwas pretty much of a fizzler on the low band but did give somewhat of a boost to the high band big guns on 1566 and 1575, both of which managed fair to good levels in and out around 1450. 1593-CNR1 also made a fair appearance in and out around this time but suffered badly from Seattle splatter. Poor to fair level Chinese on 936 late in the session wasÂalso somewhat of a surprise, although the Chinese stations on 603, 639 and 738 were still missing in action. Finally, 693-JOAB and 972-HLCA were both going strong as late as 1500, with the Korean at a very good level just prior to the TOH.ÂAlthough theÂmorning didn't feature very much variety inÂsecond-tier Asians it was a distinct improvement over yesterday'sÂlackluster session, and hopefully a sign of betterÂpropagation to come.
