[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-27

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
This morning's Asian propagation featured a halfhearted sunrise enhancement boost from 1425-1445, which raised several low and high band TP's up to ghostly levels for about 20 minutes. It wasn't bad for variety, but energetic signals were sparse.
 
Once again a band which was comatose at 1405 showed signs of life with the first appearance of daylight around 1420 as 594-JOAK, 603-China and 657-Pyongyang came out of the noise at anemic levels. 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 were doing the same thing on the high band, and it was looking like the session might turn out to be fairly interesting. Unfortunately propagation really didn't improve much after this first boost, and a whole collection of low band Asians were left floundering in and out of the noise at weak levels (558-HLQH, 594-JOAK, 603-China, 648-Russia, 657-Pyongyang and a presumed 738-BEL2). The high band Asians fared a little better as 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 both managed brief peaks of good audio around 1445, although even they bailed early around 1450, when the ghostly low band Asians had already packed it in. Unlike most recent mornings neither 972-HLCA nor 1134-KBS managed any audio at all, and even the strongest TP of the morning (1575-VOA) was only in !
 audio for about 25 minutes. Overall it was a pretty mediocre session, and devoid of any truly vibrant Asian signals.
 
73 and Good DX,
