[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultra Light TP's for 10-11

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     This morning's mediocre session could best be  described as a repeat 
of yesterday, but without yesterday's weird propagation  boost around 1410. 
The near-comatose TP's received no such miracle rescue  this morning, and it 
was "survival of the fittest," as conditions were  near their worst of the 
new season. Several Japanese "big guns" produced  decent audio this morning, 
but the normally strong 738-BEL2 and 639-CNR1 Chinese  only came up with 
poor, wispy signals. 657-Pyongyang managed a  few psychotic shouts through the 
noise, and 603-HLSA apparently was there  with weak, dreary KBS music to 
match the mood. Thankfully, this  comatose session was buried early as the 
sunrise enhancement (?) collapsed  prematurely, around 1415.
 
     The following were received on a C.Crane SWP  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-- 
but it didn't spot much this morning.
 
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Best signal of the dreary morning  with
          good-strength  Japanese YL and interval music, prior to 
          the 1400 TOH  _http://www.mediafire.com/?7oes2f0id18rxzl_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?7oes2f0id18rxzl)  
603   HLSA  Namyang, S. Korea (presumed)  Ghostlike music rising
          above noise  occasionally around 1350
639   CNR1  China Synchros  Poor male-female Chinese at  1414
648   VOR  Razdolnoye, Russia  (presumed) Threshold  audio 1352
657   Pyongyang BS, N. Korea  Full-voiced shouting  reduced to
          faint whimpers  by the poor propagation around 1412
666   JOBK  Osaka, Japan  Fair-good NHK "big gun"  survivor with
          Japanese  interview program at 1348, // with equally strong 594
738   BEL2  Penghu, Taiwan  Poor Chinese talk and pop  music 1355
828   JOBB  Osaka, Japan  Poor audio during language  program 1345
1134  JOQR  Tokyo, Japan  Heard alone on this frequency for  the
          first time in a  month; poor-fair Japanese speech at 1411
 
For those Ultralight DXers in inland states looking to receive their first  
Japanese "big gun," a recording of the standard NHK "3 + 1" top-of-the-hour 
time  pips (from 594-JOAK this morning) is posted at

73 and Good DX,
