[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-6

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
As other Asiatic TP-chasers have noted, there was a definite upturn in  
propagation this morning, with three different Korean stations (972-HLCA,  the 
1053-Jammer and 1566-HLAZ) and 1575-VOA Thailand all having vibrant  signals 
here this morning. 972-HLCA and 1575-VOA were near typical  October levels, 
and a few other new frequencies like 756 and 891 kHz showed up  with 
threshold audio. Not quite up to TP levels like Derek has, but not bad for  90 
miles inland :-) This was the first DXing session of the new season with  
somewhat inspiring results, and hopefully a sign of better things to  come.
 
The following were heard on a modified C.Crane SWP Ultralight (7.5"  
loopstick), inductively coupled to a 7.5" PVC tuned passive loop in the back  
yard:  
 
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Fair-good signals with NHK1  Japanese program at 
1305
657  Pyongyang,  N. Korea  Fair with shouted Korean tirades  around 1303
666  JOBK Osaka,  Japan  In and out with fair Japanese audio  from 1300-1315
738  BEL2  Penghu,  Taiwan  Threshold  Chinese speech and music at 1317
747  JOIB  Sapporo,  Japan  Good Japanese speech in KXL  splatter, 1322
756  CNR1 (presumed)  Threshold speech, apparently Chinese,  from 1310-1320
828  JOBB  Osaka,  Japan  Fair Japanese NHK2 program in  and out, 1308
891  UnID  Threshold weak audio here around 1310 (JOHK usually  received 
here)
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Best signals of season so far;  good level 
with YL
           conversation  in Korean around 1316

1053  Korean Jammer  Buzzing right along at good level  during sunrise 
enhancement
1134  JOQR  Tokyo, Japan  Good Japanese signal but deep  fades, 1320-1330
1377  CNR1 (presumed)  Threshold speech, apparently Chinese,  around 1326
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S.Korea  Vibrant signals during  Japanese religious 
program, 1315
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Best signals of season so  far; decent 
audio with
           YL-OM  news in Asiatic language at 1312

The signals from 972-HLCA and 1575-VOA Thailand were probably strong enough 
 to be heard at inland states, if any ULR-DXers were trying. Maybe  
tomorrow will provide more chances?
 
73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock
