[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-15

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
It's easy to agree with Nigel and Bruce that conditions were down this morning, although as usual I had some different die-hard TP's showing up. Whereas Nigel and Bruce reported some weak Asians on the high band, here the limited action was almost all on the low band. 
 
AtÂmy 1430 start time there were only weak carriers on 594,Â693Âand 972, but these built up to threshold level by 1440. 603-HLSA joined this anemic collection with threshold audio around 1450, andÂby 1455 Asian conditions hit their peak (if you can call it that) with fair audio from 594-JOAK and poor audio in and out from 603-HLSA, 693-JOAB and 972-HLCA. This ghostly group was not impressed with the morning's propagation and packed it in early around 1510. Unlike what was reported by Nigel and Bruce, the high band TP's decided to take Sunday off here.ÂIf Nigel's theory holds up,Âthe Asians should rebound tomorrow morningÂ(seemingly a safe call, since theyÂprobably can't getÂmuch worse).
