Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-23

Thanks to Richard, Nick and Colin for their comments on the skewed TP-DX propagation this morning. Thanks to Bill also for his report from Arizona.

I would have to agree, Colin. 657-Pyongyang's signals have dramatically improved since a year ago, even though they were always one of the stronger second-tier Asians here (unfortunately). Either they've improved their antenna, or surreptitiously boosted transmitter power. After all, when you don't care about any international agreements, why limit yourself to 1,500 kW?

One gets the sense that some North Korean techs have been deployed to 
tighten up the antenna hardware 
because 657 has not been this good AND regular in years.
