[IRCA] Puyallup, WA TP's for 11-9... Average at Best

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
The morning TP propagation here had a fairly nice sunrise enhancement, but  
since the second-tier signals were pretty weak before that boost around  
1450, the final results weren't very impressive.
 
An exception was 648-VOR (playing easy listening music during its  Chinese 
program at 1455) with a booming signal-- for its best level of the  season 
(or maybe for the last 5 days, since it seemed to be gone for most  of the 
season). A nice MP3 was made of the music.
 
The UnID Chinese was back on 594 kHz pestering a weakened JOAK around 1458, 
 with neither signal very strong. JOAK had been booming in for most of the  
morning, however, along with the 747, 774 and 828 NHK powerhouses. 
Recently, the  Chinese co-channels on 594 and 828 kHz seem to prefer the peak 
sunrise  enhancement before showing up. It would be nice to know who they  are. 
 
Despite the promising carrier on 1503 kHz yesterday, the high  band seemed 
anemic indeed this morning, and setting up another backyard PVC  loop (the 
4' collapsible frame model) to chase JOUK and other high-band TP's  proved 
fruitless.
 
In summary, this morning seemed very much like the average November  
propagation, after the fun of the last three days.
 
73, Gary DeBock
