Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-7

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Nick,
 
Well, the Chinese TP's aren't exactly booming in here, either-- their  
strength sounds pretty anemic, compared to this time last year. And the  
threshold audio on 756, 936 and 1377 kHz is ghostlike at best.
I did make a recording of Chinese audio on 738-BEL2 this morning, which was 
 the first Chinese to come in at a fair level. Last year we had solid  
Chinese audio on 639, 738, 936, 1377 and others around this time.
 
Before really considering one of these large PVC loops you may wish to give 
 fair warning to your wife and neighbors, since the fixture is certain to 
become  a permanent part of your back yard. Perhaps the reason why my sole 
neighbor let  his house go into foreclosure was because he wasn't thrilled 
with  the "scenery" across the fence :-)
 
73, Gary

Going to  have to build me one of those big loops in my copious spare time, 
Gary (though  you're probably right about your location being the 
secret)....the Chinese are  just not making an appearance here, bar the single 
morning showing on  1206.   

This morning, same as before, not quite as good  strengths:   1566 the 
best, then 774, 594, 747, 972 and 1287...all  the usuals.   Although the Flag 
antennas seems to be working the  same as always, they just don't seem to be 
hearing the Asians very well so far  this season.

best wishes,

Nick
