[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-17



Hello All, 
 
Bill must have had quite a lot of fun at Grayland this morning as Asian propagation improvedÂdramatically, producing the best signals of the new year here forÂ594, 693, 747, 774, 972 and 1134 (KBS). Although the session here was only from 1430-1515, it was obvious that Asian signals were well above average for the middle of winter. 
 
594-JOAK was setting the pace as the strongestÂTPÂat my 1430 start time, with very good signalsÂin and out all session long. Around 1440Âthe Japanese big guns on 693, 747, 774 and 828 seemed to hit their peak strength, with all of themÂhaving good audio peaks through the splatter. 972-HLCA and 1134-KBS also were pretty vibrant around the same time, with 972-HLCA managing its best signals of the new year (very good) with male-female Korean conversation at 1455. Besides these big guns 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang were both in and out at a fair level during this short sunrise enhancement boost, although nothing more exotic seemed to be showing up on the low band. The high band seemed to be somewhat overlooked in the propagation bonanza with only fairÂpeaks in and out from 1566-HLAZ around 1500, with the other high band regulars on 1503, 1575 and 1593Âmissing in action. As yesterday the sunrise enhancement boost proved to be of short duration, with most of the Asians packing it in by 1515.ÂDespite the short session the NHK big guns andÂ972-HLCA sounded very vibrant here during sunrise enhancement, and I'm sure that BillÂW. was able to recordÂseveral far more potent (and exotic) Asian signals thanÂthoseÂthatÂshowed up hereÂat this mediocre location.
