Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-13 Masset perspective

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

As I guessed, my conditions seem to lag observations to the south by a
day.  Yesterday was a stinker in Masset.  Today was phenomenol, especially
from China.  Wall to wall, many channels with multiple stations.  Heard all
sorts of strange stuff, like goustly echoes on 540 from CNR 1, 1 second
delays from two Chinese transmitters on 1116.  Taiwan too was very strong.
My gut feeling was that southern China came in best.  HLAZ 1566 was still
at S9 + 30 at 18:45.  I brought two Perseus receivers up, and just let one
record for almost two hours.  Great fun!  What I would give to be a Chinese
speaker!  No hint of the Filipinos I enjoyed earlier this week.  Nothing
from DU, either.  There's a scheduled power outage from 5 to 9 AM on Sunday
which might provide an interesting opportunity for super quiet conditions.
