[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-1

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Low band TP propagation was excellent again this  morning, although 
like others I noticed that the high band Asiatic  signals were down somewhat 
in strength (compared to yesterday). Almost  every 9 kHz low band channel had 
some type of audio this morning, and it  was a challenge to investigate all 
of them. 612-JOLK was received for an  all-time new TP logging (// 594), 
and there was a three- TP mix on 603 kHz  containing another apparent NHK1 
parallel to 594, which was presumed to be  JOOG in Obihiro (although the jumble 
with HLSA and the Chinese station  was too dicey to be 100% certain). This 
apparent 603 kHz NHK1  parallel also showed up last November under HLSA 
here, but faded out  before a definite match could be made with 594-JOAK.
     The UnID Chinese on 621 kHz had fairly good  signals for the first 
time this season, with no sign of the NK station. All the  low band Asian "best 
bets" (639, 648, 657, 666, and 675) had good  audio at times, and the 
middle band Chinese stations on 918, 927, 936 and 945  kHz stuck around with weak 
audio for most of the morning, right up until  1410. 738-BEL2 was back at 
full strength, but with the obnoxious buzzing signal  again. It's a puzzle 
how an advanced, wealthy country like Taiwan can't  seem to correct this 
infamous signal on one of its major AM broadcasters.
 
     The following were received on a C.Crane SWP  Slider model (7.5" 
loopstick) inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned  passive loop (in the back 
yard):
