Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-20

Hi Colin,

- I made numerous passes and each time and heard nothing unusual - >>> 

I've listened to your HLAZ audio as requested, Colin. Did you have any audio or carrier from 1593-CNR1 at the time? As mentioned previously, unless you have at least some propagation from east China on the high band you are very unlikely to hear any signal from the presumed jammer, no matter how strong of a signal you have from 1566-HLAZ. 

During both mornings here there was a moderate carrier on 1593 at the same time as the 1566 jammer's signal was noted, and without any 1593 carrier you probably won't hear any jammer signal. Its propagation the to west coast follows east China patterns, which are much less favorable than 1566-HLAZ's propagation (especially when it beams to the east, during the Japanese service program). On both yesterday and this morning 1593-CNR1's carrier fizzled out after 1300 here, making the jammer also inaudible thereafter (although 1566-HLAZ was pretty strong by itself, as in your recording). 

73, Gary

I encourage Gary to have a look at my crystal clear audio and video of HLAZ 
- I made numerous passes and each time and heard nothing unusual - 

You must have a pipe line to North Korea - my 657 was buried in muck the 
entire time - and I was not there but up-band for that generous and giving 
sun rise book that, I swear, 
warmed up the shack!
