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








Hello All,
 
Asian signals took a major dive this morning compared to yesterday, with even several of the big guns struggling to reach decent audio. At 1300 the band sounded completely hopeless, but as daylight approached a few die-hard Asians showed up with fair to good audio. The general lack of good TP signals (and good variety) this morning makes it fairly easy to test out this reporting format commonly used by a distinguished TP-DXer north of the border (who managed to post his dreary report earlier than me this morning):
 
 
Pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):
 
747  JOIB  Unusual fade in at 1345UT that shot up from the noise level
                  to a potent strength, then quickly crashed


Reasonable audio at  times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise):
 

594  JOAK  Japanese conversation at 1338UT

603  HLSA  Korean male speech and female vocal music by this 
                overachieving second-tier Asian at 1322UT

828  JOBB  Japanese weather report at 1331UT
                http://www.mediafire.com/listen/clg45y8vo67uatd/828-JOBB-1331z092413PL380.MP3
  
972  HLCA  Korean female-male conversation at 1340UT
 

Not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or 
noise could be understood by a native speaker:

657  Pyongyang  Female vocal music late at 1348UT
                http://www.mediafire.com/listen/4qjazohgqicq7ek/657-Pyongyang-1347z092413PL380.MP3
 
738  BEL2  Weak Chinese OM speech at 1315UT
774  JOUB  Battling serious Seattle-770 splatter all session
1053  Korean Jammer  Transmitter seemed jammed up this session
1287  JOHK  Japanese male talk in oppressive KKOL splatter 1335UT
1044  CRI  Brief seconds of JJ speech above the noise at 1318UT


Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be 
guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in 
talk or music) :
 
648  VOR  Rising above noise level with CC briefly at 1310UT
1134  KBS?  Weak music in CKWX splatter at 1342UT
 

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):
 
558, 639, 693, 1017, 1035, 1143, 1566, 1575
 
 
73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
