[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-15

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Thanks to Richard and Brian for their TP reports this morning-- always an interesting comparison. It was another wild and wacky session this morning, despite a pretty late start time (1310). Low band Korean and Chinese stations were fighting it out on 603 and 657, with 738-BEL2 also managing good audio early on. 
 
At my 1310 start time the Japanese big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were vibrant, but not quite at yesterday's torrid levels. 972-HLCA also had S9 peaks in and out, and the high band's 1566-HLAZ's Japanese service was fairly steady at a good level.ÂEarly on the second tier Chinese stations hadÂsome decent propagation, with 738-BEL2's Chinese having good peaks over the KCBS splatter, and 603-China temporarily dominant on the frequency over a subdued HLSA. That changed pretty dramatically around 1330, with the KBS2 station pounding in withÂvery goodÂpeaks during its classic rock music (played by the deep-voiced male). 603-China continued to pester HLSA at times but never regained dominance. 657-Pyongyang was fighting a similar battle with China (Henan?), but unfortunately dominated the frequency with its dreary orchestra and spooky female vocals. 603-HLSA had some very strong peaks this morning, but couldn't quite match the level of 972-HLCA's bizarre singing practice around 1345. Signals generally tapered off by 1410, ending anotherÂinteresting session.
