[IRCA] Puyallup, WA (very early) TP's for 11-29

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Having discovered some pretty healthy Asian TP signals around the pretty  
unhealthy local hour of 0300 yesterday, it was an easy decision to try for  
more DXing success during the Asian sunset period early this morning.  
Unfortunately the TP's that were fairly strong yesterday seemed up and  down in 
strength this time, and second-tier Asian audio was nowhere to be  found.
 
Around 0930 UTC the NHK powerhouses (594, 747, and 828 kHz) and  usually 
strong Koreans (603 and 972 kHz) seemed to fade in and fade out in  unison, 
similar to the rare TA appearances here in late October. At one moment  all 
the NHK powerhouses (and 603/ 972 Koreans) would have decent audio,  then they 
would all dive together down into the noise. This was in contrast to  
yesterday morning's session, when not only the powerhouses were strong and  
steady, but stations like 1287-JOHR and 1503-JOUK had audio.
 
738-Taiwan was one of the stronger stations around 0945, but there was no  
mainland Chinese co-channel like yesterday around 1100. Even though this  
morning's weird propagation was different from recent sunrise DXing sessions, 
it  wasn't probably wasn't good enough to compensate for the inconvenient 
hour.  I guess the Asian TP season really is coming to an end, no matter when 
you  decide to DX :-)
