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

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Count your blessings Gary.  The "boost to the big guns" here mostly 
involved them becoming audible.  The idea of 1134 peaking to anything 
beyond a grumble in Victoria is strictly for those few mornings when 
dozens of Asians are audible,

Is 1377 a tough frequency for you?  The one (very) bright spot here 
this morning was the likely return of RRI Pro 1 from Toli Toli on 
that channel, during the pre-sunrise boost.  I'll need to check the 
files a little more carefully, but almost certain that the vocal 
music that was heard matched the webstream through Streema. (every 
year, I have to race around to find a working stream for that 
station, which seems to only be heard in the couple of weeks around 1 April)

best wishes,

Nick
