[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-13

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
The NHK big guns cooled off considerably from yesterday's torrid levels but there were still some healthy Asians to be found, mostly on the low band. A potent sunrise enhancement kick around 1400 gave a serious boost to the Koreans on 603 and 972, with 657's dreary musicÂalsoÂsomewhat enhanced. 
 
At my 1315 start time it was pretty obvious that the Japanese big guns had reverted back to their typical March levels, with only 594 and 693 managing good peaks in and out. Although 972-HLCA was unusually strong for most of theÂpredawn darknessÂ(and the other middle bandÂAsians on 1044 and 1053 also managing weak audio)Âthe high band once again featured only 1566-HLAZ with fair peaks in and out. Around 1400 the increasing daylight brought both 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang out of the noise to reach fair levels, and also gave a potent boost to 972-HLCA (over the "Freedom 970" splatter).Â603-HLSA continued to build up strength to a very good level around 1407 (with "Amazing Grace" being played by the deep-voiced male) but 657-Pyongyang's dreary, undermodulatedÂmusic never managed more than fair peaks before sinking into the splatter prematurely. 594-JOAK was the only NHK big gunÂreaching anything close to yesterday's enhancedÂlevel, with a very good peak briefly around 1330. Overall the session fell quite a bit short of yesterday's in both signal strength and variety, but the selective and sharp sunrise enhancement kick to the Koreans (especially 603-HLSA)Âfrom 1400-1410 definitely made for an interesting conclusion.
