[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-8

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Asiatic conditions here this morning could best be described as low  
average, with the "big gun" Japanese, Koreans, Russian (648) and Chinese (639  and 
738) doing fairly well, but the second-tier TP's struggling to make audio.  
Like Walt, Dennis and Richard, I found this morning's TP propagation to be  
less than thrilling, and a shade down from yesterday's already modest  
level.
 
The Chinese "big guns" (which don't seem to sound so big for other  DXers) 
had decent signals again, with 639-CNR1 coming in fairly well at the  1400 
TOH (with either a weak co-channel, or a poorly-synchronized CNR! outlet),  
and 738-BEL2 had a fair mix with HKLG around 1345. In contrast  with 
yesterday 936-Anhui struggled to stay in audio, though, and the presumed  Chinese on 
927 and 918 had threshold audio at best. The 1053-Korean Jammer was  
vibrant, but 675-VOV failed to produce audio for the first time this month, a  
sure sign that Asiatic conditions are struggling.
 
The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5"  loopstick) 
inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back  yard):
 
558  UnID    Threshold music at 1337, but too weak  to check 603 //

        musical fanfare and  possible co-channel
