Hi Bruce,
 
I guess one of the reasons why this hobby is so fascinating is because  
propagation can be so selective, favoring one area at the expense of others.  
Last year John was puzzled how I could receive the low band Chinese at such  
strength, and I was puzzled how he could receive the Japanese and Koreans on 
the  high band (that I had no trace of). The same selective propagation 
seems  to be continuing when your results (and Tom's) are compared  with the 
Puyallup Valley situation.
 
73, Gary
