[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-18

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Bill W. seems to have accurately predicted a TP propagation drop off this morning,Âwith most of the Asian big guns staying at anemic levels. The sole exception here was 693-JOAB, which somehow seemed to buck the trend around 1435 with good signals during an NHK2 radio drama. 
 
It was pretty obvious at 1430 that yesterday's favorable conditions were long gone, with nothing on the entire band sounding very healthy except for the 693 exception. 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA were struggling toÂstay above the noise during sunrise enhancement, while only 1134-KBS andÂ1503-JOUK were managing weak audio on the high band. The anemic Asians on 594, 972, 1134 and 1503Âreceived no sunrise boost, sending them prematurely into the noise by 1510. On the other hand 693-JOAB's strength wasÂpretty unusual for such mediocre conditions, hitting good peaks in and out during sunrise enhancement. It was the one bright spot of a pretty lackluster session, withÂits overallÂperformance about the same as yesterday's. In general, though, Bill mayÂdiscover that this morning's Grayland filesÂareÂunlikely to be the high point of his trip. 
 
73 and Good DX,
