[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

Hello All, 
 
Although the Japanese big guns were almost as vibrant as yesterdayÂAsian mainland propagation took a step backward this morning, with most of the Korean and Chinese stations sounding fairly anemic. With the exception of the Korean big guns on 972 and 1053 it was mostly a Japanese show this morning, although a late sunrise enhancement boost after 1400 did bring severalÂsecond-tier Korean and Chinese stationsÂout of the noise. 
 
My session started off at 1235 with the Japanese big guns on 594, 693, 747,Â774 and 828 the only Asian stationsÂwith strong audio, although their signal levels were slightly off from yesterday's exceptional strength. In the predawn darkness none of the Koreans or ChineseÂwere managingÂdecent audio, a big change from yesterday's strong performance of 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer prior to 1300. Like yesterdayÂthe NHK2 big guns on 693 and 747 were both pegging the PL-380 S/N at times after 1300 and 594-JOAK was coming close to doing so-- but also like yesterday the second-tier Japanese like 531-JOQG (fair) and 585-JOPG (poor) didn't seem to sharing much in the propagation bonanza. On the other hand 972-HLCA and the 1053 Jammer never reached yesterday's levels,Âwhile 603-HLSA and 738-BEL2 only managed fair audio at best. A very late sunrise enhancement boost after 1400 broughtÂ603-HLSA (with its Chinese co-channel), 657-Pyongyang, 738-BEL2 and a presumed 936-Anhui out of the noise with poor to fair signals, while the Chinese stationsÂon 639 and 1044 were managing threshold audio at times. During the entire session the NHK big guns were far and away the strongest, with 594-JOAK and 747-JOIB sticking around right up until the band folded around 1440. Best signals of the morning were from 693-JOAB and 747-JOIB, both of which pegged the PL-380 S/N display at the 25 maximum around 1310.
