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

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

1330UT seemed to be the peak here as well, Gary, but not much in the 
way of Chinese....there might be something identifiable on the 
recordings, but 1593 didn't show until 1400UT, and even then was quite weak.

On the other hand, there has been a fair bit of post-sunrise 
evidence.   747 just had the sign off chimes at fair strength at 
1504UT, well over an hour after local sunrise, and several other 
channels were still showing intermittent audio as well.  Maybe 1593 
was in there somewhere also.

best wishes,

Nick
