[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-26

Hello All, 
 
Congratulations to Richard in Oklahoma for his reception of 594-JOAK on his PL-310Âand 8" FSL-- always an excellent accomplishment so far inland. The low band Asians also roared back to life here this morning as a potent sunrise enhancement boost raised bothÂ594-JOAKÂand Â603-HLSA up toÂvery good peaksÂaround 1435. The middle and high band Asians seemed to be overlooked somewhat in the recovery from yesterday's doldrums, however. 
 
At my 1420 start time the low band was already at potent levels, with 594, 603 and 693 all having good audio in and out.ÂThese continued to build up strength as daylight increased prior to 1430, with 657-Pyongyang also coming out ofÂthe noise to reach a fair level in and out. 603-HLSA hit its peak stride around 1435 with very good level Korean pop music // a fair level 558, while 594-JOAK was equally vibrant with male-female Japanese conversation. Besides the low band regulars the NHK big guns on 747, 774 and 828Âmanaged brief goodÂlevels in and out during peak sunrise enhancement around 1440, but the middle and high band Asian big guns onÂ972, 1134, 1566 and 1593 stayed at poor to fair levels. 1566-HLAZ and 1593-CNR1 wereÂhitting fair peaks at my 1415 start time but fizzled somewhat as daylight increased, while 1503 and 1575 were pretty much missing in action throughout the session. Increasing daylight caused everything to fizzle by 1450, with the NHK diehards on 594 and 693 the last to sink under. Overall it was definitely a low band morning, with 594 and 603 equaling their best signals of 2015 so far.
