[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-7

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Thanks to Colin for theÂinitial report on the outstanding performance of his new N/NW flag antenna (and I look forward to the full report). Asian signals were seriously improvedÂthis morning, with the Japanese big guns especially vibrant. 594-JOAK was the star performer here, although there was good variety from both Japan and Korea. 
 
My session started off at 1300 with signals very similar to yesterday, with weak audio in and out on 594, 603 (HLSA), 693, 738, 747, 828, 972, 1053, 1134 and 1566. The big difference this morning was that several of the Asians (594, 747, 972 and 1053)Âreceived serious boosts with the increasing daylight. 594-JOAK reached its best level of the new season (very good) at 1315, while the 1053-Jammer did the same at 1310. 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 also began coming out of the noise around this time, but neverÂcould maintain aÂdecent level. The NHK2 big guns on 693 and 747ÂbothÂmaintained good levels late around 1325, although 693 had its Vancouver issues, and 747-JOIB was troubled by the mystery electrical noise covering Puget Sound. Although the session featured good propagation it was primarily a big gun show here, with most of the second-tier Asians staying close to the noise level. In any case, who can complain in early September?
