[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-19

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
The coyotes must have been howling at Grayland this morning as lackluster propagation sent aÂcollection of anemic Asians into an early demise. SomeÂweak signals showed up onÂboth the low and high band during a mediocre sunrise enhancementÂbut the entire collection bailed out well before 1515. 
 
The only Asians in audio at my 1430 start time were 594-JOAK (poor), 693-JOAB (poor to fair) and 1566-HLAZ (poor). This miserable group was soon joined by 603-HLSA (also poor), 1134 (apparently KBS, but too weak to be sure) and 1503-JOUK (poor) around 1445, at which time it seemed like the band might finally have some potential. Unfortunately that was the high point of the morning, as the entire anemic collection started to plunge into the noise. By 1505 there were only a few gasps left from 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB-- the last Asians to bite the dust on a lackluster morning. Best signals of the session were only fair (and of very short duration) from 594 around 1443 and 693 around 1435. If BillÂwas trying any live DX at Grayland this morning, he had a good excuse to cut it short and head for the Blue Bouy.
