[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-16

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Asian signals seemed fairly strong this morning  around 1330, but TP 
propagation slowly went downhill from there,  with "sunrise enhancement" 
never really getting out of the  gate. Second-tier Asian stations like 
729-China, 756-CNR1  and 1035-CNR1 tended to fizzle out around 1400, leaving only the 
"big gun"  TP's to hang around until the band folded early (around 1515). 
CRI-1044 was  fairly vibrant with its Japanese program at 1445, and 
overachiever  936-Anhui again kept up a fairly decent signal level until Asian  
propagation collapsed.
     738-Taiwan Fisheries (BEL2) continues to have  a clean signal with a 
pure sine-wave carrier-- quite a change after many months  of ragged carriers 
and throbbing hum. 657-Pyongyang is now the only "big  gun" TP remaining 
with transmitter issues, and it's quite a funny problem-- the  high audio 
frequency cutoff makes the tirade shouters sound like they have  a gag in their 
mouths. Maybe the late season has some fringe benefits after  all?
 
     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:
