[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 12-21

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

I'm in full agreement with the comments by Bill and Walt-- this morning was easily the best TP-DX morning of the entire month. I first tuned in at 1410 and found the band full of strong signals from Japan, Korea and China... similar to a peak-season morning in mid-October. The Japanese on 594, 693, 747, 828, 1287 and 1503 were vibrant, as were the Koreans on 972, 1053, 1134 and 1566. Even 1323 kHz was managing a Chinese signal here, the first time that has ever happened with Ultralight radios. Unfortunately I had no time to continue the DXing effort until around 1530, when a lot of the best signals had dropped down into the noise. From 1530-1550 the Koreans on 972 and 1566 were still strong, and 1575-VOA was fading in and out of the noise with good signals. Despite the great DX earlier around 1410 UTC I was only able to record a couple of vibrant signals during the later (less impressive) session. All the DX was heard indoors with the backup C.Crane SWP Slider Ultralight and!
