[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-27...

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
This morning's TP session would have been a clunker in October, but for  
late November, it was probably the best one could hope for.
 
Signals were improved over yesterday (but that's not saying much).  
594-JOAK was heard mixing with the UnID Chinese co-channel at  1510, the first time 
the 594 kHz Chinese has been heard here in  late November:

657-Pyongyang had a pretty strong warbling carrier from 1515-1530,  with no 
detectable audio (maybe that's not such a bad thing).  675-Vietnam  also 
had a decent signal (with audio) around this time, but no weak co-channels  
could be heard because of the domestic splatter from 670 and 680 kHz. 
 
As usual recently the high band was practically dead, with only two wispy  
carriers from 1566 and 1575 during the entire 1510-1540 UTC  monitoring 
period. The usual low-band powerhouses like 603-HLSA and  639-CNR1 were 
practically silent, and even JOIB-747 had difficulty staying in  audio. So in 
general the band seemed to be in transition to the winter doldrums,  with a few 
isolated surprises.
