[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-4

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Despite Brian's earlier reception of 774 and 1566 in Arizona it was the low band Asians receiving a sharp sunrise enhancement boost here around 1420,Âtemporarily raising 594-JOAK up to anÂexcellent level, and 603-HLSA up to very good peaks in and out. The high band received no such boost, however, and even the middle band Korean regulars on 972 and 1134 struggled to get out of the noise. 
 
At my 1410 start time daylight was already fairly bright, and 594-JOAK was setting the pace with good-level Japanese conversation in and out. The other low band regulars on 603 and 693 took a few minutes to get untracked but they also started managing good peaks by 1415. On the other hand the middle and high band Asians seemed anemic indeed, with only a few fair peaks fromÂ1134-KBS and 1575-VOA at my 1410 start time.Â594-JOAK continued to build up strength to an S9 level by 1420, while 603-HLSA's Korean pop musicÂrode the same propagation boost up to aboutÂS7 a few minutes later. 657-Pyongyang even came out of the noise briefly with a few fair peaks ofÂitsÂspooky female vocal music around 1425, and 693-JOAB was reaching very good levels with Japanese conversation about the same time. Unfortunately it was all downhill from there, with the middle and high band failing to really get untracked during the entireÂsession. 972, 1134 and 1566ÂwereÂall missing in action except forÂghostly threshold audio, while 1575-VOA was down in the noise after 1415. Only the low band regulars had any real strength, and they didn't have it for very long. 594-JOAK was the star of the session with its S9 level interval music around 1420, and it was also the last Asian to bail out around 1440. It wasn'tÂexactly an exciting session, but who is complaining in earlyÂMarch?
