[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-24

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

Overall it was another lackluster TP-DXing session this morning, with a few strange variations from yesterday. Around 1300 almost all the of the Asiatic TP's sounded comatose, but a late rally during peak sunrise enhancement (around 1335 here) brought most of the Asian mainland big guns up to at least fair audio. With the exception of 594-JOAK and 1287-JOHR the Japanese didn't seem to benefit from the boost, and most of the NHK big guns (like 747-JOIB, 774-JOUB and 828-JOBB) failed to produce any audio at all. A couple of the big gun Chinese stations (603 and 639) barely came into audio range during peak sunrise enhancement, but others (936, 1044 and 1377) stayed down in the noise all morning. 738 had a moderate het from the Tahiti direction, but no French audio ever came up. Best overall TP audio was from 972-HLCA (good at times, very late in the session) and both 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA (fair).
