[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-21...One Surprise
Hello All,
With some new motivation after the late-season new TP logging of 1503-JOUK
yesterday, this morning's ambitious plan was to go after a few stations
reported recently by others, like the 675-NHK1 station reported recently by
Nick and Bruce, and the 612-NHK1 station heard by Nick.
Conditions in general seemed down from yesterday, however, and although
675 kHz had weak audio, the frequency suffered from heavy domestic splatter.
1134 kHz had CNR1 again, but not at yesterday's stellar signal level. As
usual, 612 kHz suffered from un-nullable 610-KONA splatter. Although this
back side domestic QRM is unusual when chasing TP's on the west coast, Mark
Connelly's warning about QRM from the back side of tuned passive loops comes
to mind.
On the positive side 1503-JOUK was at fairly decent audio level for much of
the morning ( // 594 kHz), and 738-Taiwan Fisheries had its usual
powerhouse signal here from 1430-1500. 765 kHz also had weak audio (apparent
Korean talk), a rare reception here next to the 770-KTTH semi-local pest.
About the only unusual occurrence happened at 1502 UTC, when 594-JOAK
(which had been strong and alone on 594 kHz from 1435-1500) was suddenly
pestered by the KBS1 Korean, and the Japanese NHK news suddenly became the
Japanese/Korean news:

This mix of JOAK and the Korean was over by 1505, though, and was very
unusual for a TP morning without any other co-channels competing with the NHK
powerhouses. Except for this 594-Korean surprise, the morning was fairly
mundane, as others have reported, and a typical late-season TP session. It's
much more fun to read the exotic DX reports from Walt and Colin :-)
