[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 3-31.. 1377 kHz Mystery

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
In general the Asian TP's lost some of their audio strength compared with  
yesterday, but there were several interesting signals, including one UnID  
mystery.
 
Again DXing from 1325-1350 in the back yard (thankfully dry this time), the 
 high band superstations like 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA had fairly good  
audio, but not like on great mornings. The overachieving 1575-AFN station  was 
nowhere to be heard. 1053 kHz had a weak mix of two stations at  1330 (one of 
which was apparently JOAR), and 1134 kHz had a stronger  mix of JOQR and the 
KBS Korean for most of the listening session. 1503-JOUK had  fair audio 
around 1345, but the 1476 kHz carrier (almost in audio, yesterday)  was very ane
mic this morning here.
 
The star of the morning was probably 1377-CNR1, which dominated the  
frequency at a healthy level for most of the morning. At around 1333 (while  
playing electronic instrumental music) the Chinese station had a weak co-channel  
TP on the frequency with apparent Korean language, although the co-channel  
was only around for about a minute, and there was no real chance to check 
any  parallels. The weak co-channel can be heard in the beginning of this 
recording  at 1333, mixing with the Chinese station's instrumental music  (but 
neither station's signal was earth-shaking at the time)

As usual this week the TP signals dived in unison around the 1400 TOH, with 
 bright sunlight cutting short the mediocre Puyallup version of sunrise  
enhancement. But here in late March, it's probably best to be thankful  for 
what TP's we still have, especially in this modest location.
