[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-3... Better

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
This morning the sunrise enhancement (1415-1500) here didn't bring anything 
 new, but the signal levels were better than yesterday, and some 
interesting  stations were heard. Although not near the peak October levels, it was 
the best  day so far in November here.
 
891 kHz had a nice mix of a presumed Thailand and NHK1 at 1440, and 603 kHz 
 had HLSA mixing with the UnID Chinese at 1443. Around 1446 the 594 kHz  
frequency changed from a solid JOAK talk program to a mix with the Korean-pop  
music HLS1, and for a very brief time at 1448 the UnID Chinese was also 
heard  together with these two, down in the noise. This was the first time all 
season  that 594-JOAK was heard with both co-channels at the same time.
 
A quick scramble to search for weak Chinese co-channels  on 774 and 828 kHz 
(reported by Nick recently) proved fruitless,  however, and checks of 549, 
648 and 711kHz (a very tough frequency here, with  KIRO splatter) at peak 
dawn enhancement (around 1450) did not come up with  anything. Despite the 
action on 594 kHz, 585 had nothing but a weak NHK1 JOPG at  1458, and the 
Korean reported by Nick on 567 did not even register as a weak  carrier here (not 
surprising, with the semi-local 570-KVI splattering  away).
 
So even though no new TP's were received, it was an interesting morning on  
the experimental 9' box loop, and much better than the moribund  conditions 
of yesterday. Hopefully John, Nick and Bruce were able to  hear some nice 
DX also.
