[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-16

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

As Colin and Nick have reportedÂAsian signals dropped off somewhat in comparison to yesterday, although a decent sunrise enhancement boosted up a couple of second-tier TP's to better levels. The Japanese big guns and 1556-HLAZ were the only reallyÂenergetic performers, however. 
 
At my 1315 start time only 1566 sounded very healthy, with very good level Japanese speech. By contrast the NHK big guns sounded anemic during the predawn darkness,Âand the second-tier TP's were completely missing in action. Around 1350 the usual collection of Japanese NHK signals on 594, 693, 747 and 828 began to get a decent sunrise enhancement boost, which brought 594 and 693 up to good levels in and out. 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer came out of the noise as well, but never did get much aboveÂfair levels. Early in sunrise enhancementÂthe somewhat unusual 1323-CRI also came out of the noise with apparent Russian, but couldn't maintain its weakÂstrength. The situation would have been routine and boring except for a fair mix of 603-HLSA and 603-China that came out of the noise atÂ1405, and an unusually good signal from 1134-JOQR at 1407, playing instrumental music during the late night in Japan. Other second-tier TP's (558, 657, 738 etc.) stayed down in the noise for the entire session, though, andÂnone ofÂthe Japanese big guns matched yesterday's levels. Overall it was a pretty typicalÂlean-season session, although 1134-JOQR's signal at 1407 was the best that it has managed here fro a couple of years.
