Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-11

Bruce and Nick, 
 
Thanks for your comments on the 1017 mystery signal around 1400 this morning. 
 
My reception of the signal was nowhere near as favorable as Nick's recording, but I do remember that the other CRI stations on 963, 1044, 1206 and 1323 were nowhere near audio at the time, whichÂsupports the idea that it may have been something trans-equatorial (or Filipino). DuringÂsignal peaks I heard a male voice that sounded Korean to me, but it was too weak and garbled to be sure. The male voice seemed excited, which supports Bruce's suggestion that it may have beenÂsport coverage. 1017-Tonga has never managed a trace here, however, and neither have any of the 1017 Filipinos. Nick's recording doesn't sound at all likeÂthe excited male voiceÂI heard around 1350. It doesn't really sound like sportsÂplay-by-play either, but maybe the game that Bruce mentions was over by 1417? About the only thing I can say for sure is that 1017 had an unusually stable, steady heterodyne with weak audio peaks from 1250-1405 here, and there was also unusually good propagation from 738-Tahiti at the same time. For a lackluster DX location like this, it's probably the best 1017 scenario possible.

I heard what I assume was Tonga-1017 thundering in at 1350 with what 
sounded like a sports play-by-play. ÂIt was definitely in an island 
language and not Tagalog. ÂRomania was mentioned several times. 

The Rugby World Cup is taking place right now. Â Tonga is participating, 
so Radio Tonga is probably there to broadcast the highlights. ÂRomania 
played Italy today, so that's apparently the game they were covering at 
the time.
