[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-10

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Like Dennis and Nick have noted, the Japanese TP's were very  strong this 
morning, with the NHK "big guns" booming in at times on the low  band. 594, 
747 and 828 kHz had their best audio of the season, and there was  even a 
weak UnID Japanese station showing up on 738 kHz (for the first time ever  
here) in a mix with a weak Taiwan. 639-CNR1 had its first threshold audio  of 
the season, and like Nick mentioned, there was also a weak co-channel on  828 
under JOBB (apparently Chinese).
 
This probably would have been a good morning for the inland ULR-DXers to  
try receiving some strong Japanese TP's. The following were heard on a  
C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick) inductively coupled to a 7.5' sided  
PVC tuned passive loop in the back yard:  
 
558  JOCR  Kobe, Japan  Fair Japanese audio at 1307, but  subject to deep 
fades
585  JOPG  Kushiro, Japan  Weak NHK1 program around 1310,  //594
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Unusually strong with Japanese  conversational 
program
                     at  1309 _http://www.mediafire.com/?54up8b066aby50h_

639  CNR1  Beijing, China  (presumed) Threshold audio at  1327; first of 
season
648  VOR  Razdolnoye, Russia  Weak Chinese audio  during foreign broadcast, 
1312
657  Pyongyang  N. Korea  The Korean shouting was weaker  than usual, 1313
666  JOBK  Osaka, Japan  Fair to good with NHK2 program at  1315
738  BEL2  Penghu, Taiwan  Much weaker than usual this  morning with music, 
1327.
                  Maybe  the signal was going to Victoria instead?
738  UnID-  (Japan)  Weak Japanese talk mixing with a weaker  BEL2 around 
1325--
                  not  Korean (from HKLG). Three commercial stations listed 
in Japan, so
                   no chance to check for an NHK //. First time JJ ever 
heard here.
747  JOIB  Sapporo, Japan  Booming signal, pushing back the  KXL splatter 
around
                   1317. Best seasonal signal yet

774  JOUB  Akita, Japan  Strong signal, fighting it out with  stronger 
Seattle splatter
828  JOBB  Osaka  Not the strongest NHK signal  but without any domestic 
splatter;
                  fair-good  with NHK2 program over weak co-channel 
(apparently Chinese)
                   around 1321 _http://www.mediafire.com/?o1qdpr1oyp1sjbu_ 
(http://www.mediafire.com/?o1qdpr1oyp1sjbu) 
891  JOHK  (presumed)  Threshold audio with Japanese  intonation, 1326
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Weaker than usual with Korean  conversation, 
1311
1053  Korean Jammer  Intermittent buzzing this morning; not as  vibrant as 
usual
1053  UnID  Like Dennis, I heard music on this frequency at 1313,  mixing 
with The Jammer
1134  JOQR  Tokyo, Japan  Fair  Japanese conversation and music around 1318
1377  China (presumed)  Threshold audio around 1327; faded  quickly
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Good signal with Japanese  religious program, 
1300-1330
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Fair-good with Asiatic  language program, 
1315
 
Hopefully the Masset DXpedition team (Walt, Guy and the others) can give a  
listen to 738 kHz on their Perseus captures later this month, and see which 
one  of the Japanese is showing up here. Taiwan usually has 738 kHz  sown 
up here during the TP season (for some bizarre reason), making it  tough for 
the other TP's to sneak in.
 
73 and Good DX,
Gary  DeBock
