[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-11

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
Asiatic propagation was very good again this morning, with  the "big gun" 
Japanese TP's like 594, 747 and 774 kHz having strong  signals like 
yesterday. The Chinese stations on 639, 756, 927, 936 and 1377  which had been 
producing threshold audio are now fading in and out with weak  Chinese, and the 
first strong TP mix of the season was recorded on 1134  kHz, with JOQR and KBS 
both fighting it out with good signal  strength.
A mystery music station continues to be heard under the 1053-Korean Jammer, 
 and another mystery Japanese station continues to weakly show up on 738 
kHz  (when Taiwan loses its usual propagation edge). The duration of sunrise  
enhancement continues to be short in this inland  location, even with good 
propagation-- TP signals usually have  collapsed around 1335 here recently.
     Congratulations to Richard Allen for  receiving several TP's on his 
Tecsun PL-310 Ultralight in Oklahoma-- a  remarkable example of the skillful 
use of propagation. The new DX Season should  provide a lot of excitement for 
those ULR-DXers (and others) willing to  "push their luck" in a similar 
manner!
