[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-12 (Conclusion)

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
 
The low-band Asian signals were much improved here this morning, with overall results very similar to those reported by Bruce (although with a slightly different cast of leading characters). Whereas Bruce had 594, 747, 774 and 972 with good audio, here it was 594, 603, 657, 747, 972 and 1053 with the best signals. Low-band second-tier Asians were particularly vibrant, with 531-JOQG, 558-HLQH, 639-CNR1 and 648-VOR all reaching fair to good audio at times. 648-VOR was unusually persistent from 1330-1400 with its Chinese service, managing to get through the oppressive 650-CISL splatter for about half an hour. 
 
 
The strongest big guns here were 594, 747, 972 and 1053, with 972-HLCA again producing a monster signal around 1355. 657-Pyongyang was strong and persistent with its Korean tirades around 1410, and 738-BEL2 was back with fair Chinese female news at 1402  As reported by others, the high band never seemed to join the party, with 1134-KBS, 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA anemic at best. In keeping with this trend, the second-tier high band stations on 1323, 1377, 1503 and 1593 never got out of the noise here, while the Chinese middle band stations on 936, 963, 1017, 1035 and 1044 were struggling to come up with any audio at all. Overall it was a pretty exciting session, with the low-band Asian mainland stations showing some energy for the first time in about a week.
