[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-29

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     There was vibrant  propagation to diverse Asian areas this morning, 
and several TP  signals like 648-VOR, 828-JOBB and 1044-CRI were near their 
seasonal best  levels. Mainland Chinese signals were also dramatically 
improved over  yesterday, although conditions were variable, and it was a question 
of  being on the right frequency at the right time. The (presumed) Chinese 
lineup on  909, 918, 927 and 936 kHz all were close to audio around 1325, but 
 were down in the noise 30 minutes later. 639-CNR1 had good, steady  audio 
for most of this morning, after having been a non-performer for most of  
September. On the other hand, 738-BEL2 in Taiwan was way down in the noise  
again for a second day, indicating continuing transmitter issues.
     Despite the favorable propagation trend no rare  TP's showed up, 
although I was lucky to catch the 1044-CRI sign-off music (and  Chinese ID) at 
the 1400 TOH, during fairly good signals after the Japanese  language program. 
The strong Korean co-channel on 1044 (presumed KBS1) has been  completely 
absent from the frequency since both Dennis and I heard it exactly a  week 
ago (on September 22), leaving the 1044-CRI station alone on the split  
channel. Maybe 1044-KBS1 will show up in a Perseus capture from  Masset? :-)

inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in  the back yard):
