[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-7

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Yesterday's improvement in Asian signals didÂnot continue this morning, although a late sunrise enhancement boostÂdid allow some big guns to be heardÂas late as 1510. With the exception ofÂpersistentÂsignals from 603-HLSAÂand 657-Pyongyang the TP audio was limited to a few big guns, however, and they didn't sound as strong as they did yesterday. 
 
At my 1335 start time theÂJapanese and KoreanÂbig guns on 594, 693, 747, 774, 972, 1053 and 1566 were in and out with fair to good signals, butÂpropagation generallyÂtapered offÂfrom there, leaving the big guns without much energy until a late sunrise enhancement boost around 1440 (which also brought 1575-VOA up to a fair level). 594-JOAK was the strongest of these like it was yesterday, but it could only manage good audio at best. 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang were the only second tier Asians to show up, and theyÂboth sounded pretty anemic until they also tapped into the lateÂsunrise enhancement around 1440, bringing them up to fair levels. 603-HLSA was the only Asian with improved audio over yesterday, hitting a fair to good level with Korean conversation just before 1445. The Chinese stations were not at allÂimpressed with this morning's propagation and stayed down in the noise, while the high band did feature 1566-HLAZ at aÂgood level around 1335 and 1575-VOA at a fair level around 1500.ÂWith the late propagation boost 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB, 603-HLSA and 972-HLCA all continued to manage weak audio until around 1510, when the increasing daylightÂsent them down into the noise. It wasn't one of the season's better sessions, butÂprobably nothing to complain about considering the low TP-DXing expectationsÂthat we have come to developÂover the past few months.
