[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11







Hello All,
 
 
What started out as a clunker session around 1315 finally broke into a strange pattern of moderate strength Japanese and Korean big guns, along with a couple of minor surprises. In general, it turned out to be another low-average session for Asians, with TP results very similar to those reported by Dennis.
 
 
Around 1345 the NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 began to break through the noise, along with the Koreans on 972, 1053, 1134 and 1566. None of these sounded especially energetic early on, although 594-JOAK did manage good audio around 1402. 693-JOAB was fairly good in CBU splatter with NHK2 language lessons at 1410, and 1134-KBS had its good moments with Korean talk (through CKWX splatter) around 1405. As reported by Dennis, 603-HLSA was around at a weak level this morning, reaching fair peaks here with its long music sets around 1355. One minor surprise on this fairly mediocre morning was a signal from 531-JOQG, reaching fair peaks through the 530 TIS din around 1358. 738-BEL2 in Taiwan also made it out of the noise briefly around 1407, but never stuck around for long. Finally, 657-Pyongyang managed threshold audio (undermodulated music) at 1352, but that was about it for a pretty lackluster session.
 
 
Pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, 
at least briefly):

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it 
understandable by a native speaker, though often battling 
w/splash or noise):
 
693  JOAB  NHK2 language lessons through CBU splatter

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

738  BEL2  Female CC speech out of noise at 1407


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) :

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or 
ravaged by splatter):
