[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-2

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Asian signals never really sounded very healthy  this morning, 
although fair TP audio was in and out from various stations for  almost the entire 
DXing session (from 1300-1450). The "big gun" Asians  (594, 738, 747, 828, 
972, 1134 and 1566) took turns fading in and out from  1300-1400, when the 
entire band seemed to take a momentary dive (also noted  by Walt). TP signals 
slowly recovered up to a mediocre level around 1415, but  the sunrise 
enhancement didn't provide any additional signal boost,  and the same collection 
of "big gun" Asians stuck around at a fair  level until the band collapsed a 
little early, around 1450. A few  stations like 648-VOR, 936-Anhui and 
1377-CNR1 occasionally managed  fairly decent audio to escape the mediocre trend, 
but it was gone in a  flash. In general, the session was nothing to shout 
about.
 
     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:
