[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-2

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     The Chinese TP's were really strong here this  morning, and several 
Mainland stations had their strongest audio ever. 981-CNR1  was really booming 
in on a very noisy frequency (980-CKNW is a daytimer  here, and Seattle 
noise from 950 and 1000 doesn't help) for a first-ever  Puyallup logging (the 
station is a regular at Grayland). 621-China  (presumed Heilongjiang) had its 
best audio of the season, and many other  second-tier Chinese stations had 
decent strength. Like Bruce and Tim  have already observed, though, this 
morning's TP propagation was pretty  selective, and the Japanese stations 
generally didn't share in the  increased-strength bonanza.
 
     The most interesting signal of the morning,  though, was a persistent 
Asiatic TP co-channel mixing with 639-CNR1 around  1406-- the first time any 
Asian co-channel had been heard here on 639. The  station certainly wasn't 
Fiji (which was looped out, in this DU-dead zone), and  had strength which 
approached that of CNR1 at times. I made a couple of  "headphone recommended" 
MP3's, but since the Grayland and Masset archives don't  show too much here 
except CNR1, it's a real mystery. Congratulations to Bruce  and Tim for 
their loggings of 1170-VOA in the Philippines-- one that I certainly  would 
have checked, if alerted. It should receive due attention  tomorrow :-) 
 
     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):

639  UnID-TP  Mixing with CNR1 at a fair level from 1406-1410,  this
          mystery station  was heard for the first time ever here. At 1408
          the speech sounded  something like CNR1's Chinese-- maybe
          Thai?   _http://www.mediafire.com/?nd3tvsthu73m4np_
