[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-13

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

The limited TP propagation that existed here this morning once again favored the low band Asians, but there sure wasn't very much of it.

In a major drop off from yesterday only about 5 low band and 2 upper band Asians managed audio, with none of them particularly energetic. It required some luck and patience to catch any of them with decent signals. At the 1430 start of the session only 594-JOAK (poor), 693-JOAB (poor to fair) and a presumed 738-BEL2 (poor) were managing any audio, and after these dropped down into the noise around 1440 a couple of other big guns (972-HLCA and 1134-KBS) took their place with similar anemic audio. These five diehards dropped in and out of the noise until around 1450, when they were joined by 639-CNR1 and 747-JOIB with equally miserable signals. The high band never seemed to get untracked, with both 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA reaching only fair audio at best shortly after the 1500 TOH. Best signals of the morning (fair) were reached by 693-JOAB around 1435 and 594-JOAK around 1500, and of course the Asians bailed early, around 1515. Overall TP results seemed very similar to Dennis'!
  report this morning, so at least the mediocre propagation seemed fairly widespread... and "misery enjoys company."

73 and Good DX,
