[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-13... Improving

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
The sunrise TP propagation was definitely improved from yesterday, and  
there was audio on several frequencies that are usually not  productive.
 
The UnID Chinese (male) was back on 684 kHz with his talk monolog at 1441,  
and he seemed to be quite animated until 1445, when 670-KBOI turned on its  
IBOC to silence him. This 684 kHz Chinese always shows up on mornings with 
great  propagation, so at least he is a harbinger of good DX, even if he  
stays unknown.
 
Around 1450 the usually weak 1503 kHz had threshold audio from a  presumed 
JOUK, but without enough signal to check a parallel. The frequency is  
splatter-free here, but almost always a paltry carrier. 
 
Frequent but weak co-channel TP's were heard  under several "big guns" from 
1455-1500, including  the music-oriented KBS1 under 594-JOAK, Chinese music 
(with female  announcer) under 828-JOBB, and Chinese male talk under 
972-HLCA. A check  was made for another elusive co-channel under 693-JOAB, but CBU 
splatter  was too much to dig out anything weak. The NHK stations did have 
very good audio  this morning in general, despite the co-channel competition.
 
So it was a fairly good TP morning here, even if no new Asians were logged. 
 For mid-November propagation, it's best to be thankful for the TP's  you 
still have, and enjoy them while you can :-)
