[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 10-7.. Pretty Good

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
After last night's TA action, everyone was probably hoping for a legendary  
TP opening-- but it certainly fell far short of that. Even without the  
legendary opening, conditions here (on the 9' box loop) seemed fairly good,  
despite the lackluster reports from Walt and Dennis.
 
756-CNR1 was strong enough for a nice Chinese ID at 1400, which was  
Ultralight TP logging #97 here. It was mixing with the KBS co-channel around  
1405, but neither station was at very strong levels. Like Walt reported, this  
756-CNR1 station seems to be undermodulated, having a large carrier  but puny 
audio.
 
1107 had audio from a TP for the first time here, but it was too weak  to 
ID the language. 1134 had the KBS station again, not the Chinese as reported  
by Dennis. Many of the other frequencies had TP's at weaker than normal 
levels,  but in general the band had its interesting moments. The new 9' box 
loop has  received 5 new Ultralight TP's in 5 days, plus numerous UnID Chinese 
stations. I  need to think up a sneaky way to take one of these monsters to 
Grayland  :-)
 
73, Gary DeBock
