[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 4-2...Better Than Expected

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Like Dennis mentioned, the TP's this morning were not nearly as bad as the  
solar indexes (A14, K4) would suggest. Most of the usual high band Asians 
made  an appearance with audio, although nothing very exotic showed up. 
Signals in  general were about the same as yesterday-- or not bad, for this time 
of  year.
 
1134 kHz had a moderate mix of KBS and one other (apparently JOQR) here  
around 1325, and 1377-CNR1 was in and out of audio during the 1320-1340  
listening period (but with no weak co-channel, as showed up yesterday).  
1503-JOUK was in and out of weak audio // 594, and 1566-HLAZ and  1575-VOA had 
decent strength at times. 1476 kHz was a non-performer this  morning, though, 
with only a weak carrier.
 
1575-VOA Thailand had fair strength for an English ID at 1330  
_http://www.mediafire.com/?fdmnnc0ymgz_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?fdmnnc0ymgz)  ,  with 
weak competition from a presumed AFN off and on during the listening  
session. Considering the unfavorable propagation forecast, the TP's were  
probably better than anybody expected-- especially in April.
 
73, Gary DeBock
