[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-29

What seemed like a pretty routine session developed some drama around 1330 as the fairly rare 657-China (Henan?) managed to take over the frequency, silencing Pyongyang BS and its "TOH" 3+1 pips. On the high band 1593-CNR1 also had an above average session, although there didn't seem to be any unusual Chinese propagation wave on the other high or low band frequencies.


At my 1300 start time the usual big guns on 594, 693, 747, 972 and 1566 were at good levels in and out, with some occasional fair signals from 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 1593-CNR1. Around 1320 the usual Pyongyang tirade woman on 657 started having some co-channel competition from an easy listening music station, which made a strange combination with her angry shouting. By 1330 the co-channel had pushed Pyongyang way down, so that the 3=1 pips were barely heard in the soft music. Pleasant Chinese female speech was all alone on the frequency at 1333, and Pyongyang had bailed for the session. The other usual second-tier Asians on 603 and 738 didn't seem quite as strong as yesterday, and there weren't any Chinese signals on 603, 756 or 936. 639-CNR1 managed a strong carrier and seemed to show up with some audio, but KFI splatter was too obnoxious to make sure. 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 both got a boost from the daybreak enhancement, though, reaching good peaks in and out around 1340. 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA both managed extended S9 runs during daybreak enhancement, which seemed to peak around 1335 here. They were the strongest big guns in a moderately interesting session.
