Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight DU's for 10-10 (Really)

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Nick, 
 
Thanks very much for providing parallel confirmationsÂfor the freakish 594-3WV and 792-4RN receptions here in Puyallup! 

ÂWhen 594 was first fading in with audio around 1355 I was very skeptical that it wasn'tÂJOAK, and wasted some time repeatedly checking the null bearing to confirm the SW direction. The other LR network parallels on 702, 774 and 828 stayed at heterodyne levels during the 594 audio, and when it faded around 1403, theÂweak 828 audio (presumably 3BI) was the only signal available from the network. When 792 had a strong fade-in at 1405 I knew I was pretty much out of luck for a parallel, since 576 hadn't even registered a weak carrier, let alone something like 846. I was hoping that one of the Victoria DXers could clear up matters, and your assistance certainly made all the difference. Thanks a bunch! 
 
73, Gary (previously inÂa DU-dead zone,Âwhere they might be rising for Halloween?)

Good on the 4RN Gary. Â ÂYes, that was it all 
right, your recording is of a female jazz 
vocalist testing out the pipes a bit. ÂHere, it 
was tough to find any parallels, but 576, though 
very faint at that time, seemed to have the same 
vocalist, so I think you can claim it. 

You can also claim the laid back vocalist on 594 
which was parallel to 774 here at that time. 

Aren't you glad you got up, hi. 

best wishes, 

Nick
