[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-13

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Yesterday's mysterious Japanese-slanted  propagation gave way to much 
more normal Asian signals today, and with one  notable exception the Chinese 
"big guns" were back in force. 738-BEL2 and  936-Anhui had vibrant signals 
as usual, and most of the low-band Asians from  other countries (603, 648, 
657 and 675) were back to normal strength. The Korean  signals were 
especially healthy today, with 594-JOAK again pestered by the  Korean co-channel at 
various times, and the Jammer on 1053 kHz holding down the  frequency very 
well. Whereas 1134 kHz was all JOQR yesterday, this morning  it was all KBS, 
which pretty much reflected the propagation change within  24 hours.
     The exception to the vibrant Chinese signals was  639-CNR1, which 
sounded unusually anemic this morning (after having been  completely absent 
yesterday, along with the other Chinese). The weakness of CNR1  combined with 
the strength of the other Asians produced a  first-time snarl on 639 kHz at 
1403 for dominance of the frequency, during  which an apparent Korean-sounding 
co-channel (not // 594) temporarily was  the stronger station. The monotone 
male voice droned on and on without  providing any ID clues, but this 
Korean-sounding signal may be further  evidence of the 50 kw KBS3 station on the 
frequency (for which there was no  parallel to check). Although this 
morning's session lacked yesterday's bizarre  propagation, after three days of 
unusual solar activity, it was reassuring to  have most of the Asian signals 
back to decent levels.
 
     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). A modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as  an SSB spotting 
receiver.
