[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-12

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
CongratulationsÂto Richard for his TP receptions on Ultralight radiosÂin Oklahoma this morning. Those DXers hoping for a repeat of Tuesday's great propagation certainly got their wish this morning, with the low band JapaneseÂbig guns once again on the warpath at my 1320 start time. Besides very NHK good signals on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 the Korean big gun 972-HLCA was also joining theÂenhanced propagation party at an S9 level in the predawn darkness. 
 
The vibrant propagation at 1315Âfeatured weak audio from a variety of second-tier TP's on 603, 657, 738 and 1044, while the NHK big guns pounded in and out right through the 1400 TOH. Unfortunately (like two days ago) the high band Asians didn't seem to share in the propagation bonanza, with only 1566-HLAZ hitting fair peaks at times. With increasing daylight around 1350 the low band Asian mainland stations on 603, 657 and 738 all got a decent boost, and for a while it seemed like 738-BEL2 might repeat its stellar performance of two days ago as it came up to fair peaks around 1358.ÂIts hyper-speed Chinese audio soon faded, however, leaving 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang to receive the main benefits of the sunrise enhancement kick. 603-HLSA came up to an S9Âlevel around 1410 with aÂmonologue by KBS2'sÂdeep-voiced male, followed by the Carpenters'Âclassic pop music,Âalso with strong peaks in and out. 657-Pyongyang's dreary orchestra was also in and out at a fair level around 1402, possibly hosted by the Korean tirade lady. Overall the band was far above average for March, with many potent signals from both Japan and Korea.
