[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-10

Hello All, 
 
A dramatic propagation improvementÂboosted most of the low band Japanese signalsÂup to very potent levels this morning, with 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 all reaching very goodÂpeaks between 1315 and 1400. The star performer of the morning waited until a sharp sunrise enhancement boost around 1400 to show up, though-- 738-BEL2, with its best signalÂof the entire season. 
 
At my 1315 start time theÂNHK big gunsÂwere already on the warpath, with 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB hitting very good levels in and out. TheÂChinese lessons on the other NHK2 stations (747, 774 and 828) were also at equal strength, butÂsuffering from the usual domestic splatter issues. 1566-HLAZ was managing fair signals in and out, but other than thisÂduring the predawn darknessÂit seemed like the morning would be strictly a Japanese show. Around 1350 there was somewhat of a boost for the rest of Asia, though, with 972-HLCA coming out of the noise to reach a good level, and 603, 657, 738, 1044 and 1593Âall starting to manage threshold audio. Most of these signals soon fizzled with the increasing daylight, but around 1403 the relatively obscure Taiwan station 738-BEL2 definitelyÂgot a boost, reaching very good peaks with its usual hyped-upÂChinese speech-- its best signal since the season started in September. BEL2 had a weak mainland Chinese co-channel as well during its peak moments, but the UnID Chinese station soon faded. On the other hand BEL2 stuck around until 1425,Âin and out of the noiseÂwith its Chinese female-announced news. Along with the unusually strong NHK big guns onÂ594 and 693 it was one of the biggest surprises of a productive morning-- almost seeming like something straight out of October.
