[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-9

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Asian signal strength was markedly  improved here this morning, but 
where Walt had the Japanese dominating, it  was the Chinese and Koreans that 
received the propagation boost here. Like  Bruce I had several co-channel 
mysteries (639, 756 and 936)  that remained mysteries, and a 603 kHz mix 
(clearly KBS2 and the  UnID Chinese here). The upper band seemed fairly good, and 
the Asian "big  guns" from 639- 675 kHz all had decent signals at times. In 
comparison  with recent days, the vibrant TP signals were a refreshing 
change.
     The big event of the morning here was  a strong signal from 729-China 
(presumed Jiangxi, according to Chuck's  suggestion last year) around 1351. 
It easily pushed aside a much weaker  JOCK (and CHMJ splatter) and had its 
best strength ever here.  I see that Bruce also heard the 729-China station 
around 1400, but by  that time it had lost most of its strength here. 
936-Anhui was back with  decent audio this morning, but it was all Chinese (both 
speech and music)  with no English. Maybe  Maybe 936-Anhui is taking a break  
(on Saturday night) from the tough weekday English lessons? There was a weak 
 musical co-channel observed for the first time under Anhui on 936, but 
like this  morning's other weak co-channels it provided no ID clues. It's nice 
to hear  the mystery stations anyway, as a sign of better  propagation.  
 
     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). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an SSB  spotting 
receiver.
