[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 4-2

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Unlike yesterday there was a fairly potent sunrise enhancement boost this morning, raisingÂseveral Asian signals up toÂhealthy levels from 1310-1340. The NHK big guns on 594, 693Âand 747 were the primary beneficiaries, although several weakerÂTP's showed up on 603, 657 and 738 as well. 
 
At my 1300 start time the band sounded almost exactly the same as yesterday's, but this morning there was no general collapse. Both 972-HLCA and 1566-HLAZ were managing good peaks at the time, while 594-JOAK was in and out at a fair level. Quite a collection of low band Asians were at threshold audio level from 1310-1330, including 603-HLSA, 657 (presumably Pyongyang) and 738 inÂweak ChineseÂ(presumably BEL2). Unfortunately none of these weaker Asians could manage anything better for the morning, although 594-JOAK came up to a very good level temporarily after 1330 while the NHK2 big guns on 693 and 747 had brief moments of good audio. The high band continued to have 1566-HLAZ in and out at a fair level until around 1345, when all the Asians tended to sink into the noise. Best audio of the session (very good) was from 594-JOAK around 1332, with the usual NHK1 male and female announcer taking turns reading the news.
