Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-13 Masset perspective

Walt, 
 
Your assessment of the daily TP propagationÂchanges betweenÂMassett and western BC (and western WA) is very interesting, and this morning's Asian results certainly provide more evidence to support your conclusion. But I'mÂpretty sure that any one of us in the local area would trade a great day here for a lackluster day in Massett. The S9+ Japanese big guns are interesting for a while, butÂaren't exactly prime DX targets.ÂÂ

As I guessed, my conditions seem to lag observations to the south by a 
day. ÂYesterday was a stinker in Masset. ÂToday was phenomenol, especially 
from China. ÂWall to wall, many channels with multiple stations. ÂHeard all 
sorts of strange stuff, like goustly echoes on 540 from CNR 1, 1 second 
delays from two Chinese transmitters on 1116. ÂTaiwan too was very strong. 
My gut feeling was that southern China came in best. ÂHLAZ 1566 was still 
at S9 + 30 at 18:45. ÂI brought two Perseus receivers up, and just let one 
record for almost two hours. ÂGreat fun! ÂWhat I would give to be a Chinese 
speaker! ÂNo hint of the Filipinos I enjoyed earlier this week. ÂNothing 
from DU, either. ÂThere's a scheduled power outage from 5 to 9 AM on Sunday 
which might provide an interesting opportunity for super quiet conditions.
