Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 9-28 and please help with 657!!!

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Walt,
 
Thanks for your detailed daily logs, which usually give me some nice TP's  
and DU's to dream about :-)
 
657-Pyongyang has been one of the strongest TP's here recently, and even  
though the band here typically has folded around 1355 the past few days,   
Pyongyang's buzzing signal usually is one of the last to disappear. I'll give 
a  listen for any English on 657 tomorrow after 1400.
 
73, Gary

I have  to thank Colin for asking me to check my wav files.  Sure enough, 
things  weren't quite as bad as I thought.  In fact around 13:45, things 
really  picked up again, and I was doing quite well again.  576 was the Russian  
at 9 level as was 549 in // (an 8 anyway...a lot of splatter from 550  
Blaine).  603 only yielded the KK and CC station here, too, Gary.  I  do hope 
that some of you guys try for 657 at 14:00.  I'm almost certain  that there's 
English here from North Korea.  I checked and found the same  from one other 
morning.  It's a pretty tough signal with a lot of  splatter from 660, but 
they announce something twice, and then into an ?anthem  which lasts over a 
minute and then talk.  Frequency seems to be about  656.94 or so.  The band 
tends to fade shortly afterwards.   Help!  ...Walt
