[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-5

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Overall TP conditions this morning were generally  modest, but it was 
another bizarre "China morning" when some of the mainland  stations had 
their best strength of the season. Both 639-CNR1 and 756-CNR1 fell  into this 
category, and 738-BEL2 wasn't far behind. Unfortunately  738-Taiwan's 
transmitted signal was again full of obnoxious spurious  products, wasting the good 
strength by splitting up into three different  sub-signals (buzzing, a 
"zoom" noise, and rough audio).
 
     558-HLQH was again alone at the 1400 TOH with  no sign of JOCR, and 
639-CRN1 had a fine signal at this time (with a  possible weak Asiatic 
language co-channel, that was not // 594-JOAK). The  Chinese stations on 927 and 
936 kHz were in and out with decent audio around  this time, and both 
1035-CNR1 and 1044-CRI were coming in with good  strength. By comparison the 
Japanese "big guns" didn't sound so big this  morning, and most of the Koreans were 
modest. Except for the vibrant  Chinese signals, this morning's session 
could be described as pretty  lackluster.
 
The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5" loopstick)  
inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard). A 
 modified ICF-2010 (30" loopstick) was used as an SSB spotting receiver:

603  HLSA  Namyang, S. Korea  Dominant over Chinese at 1400  TOH

648  VOR   Razdolnoye, Russia  Fair-good Chinese  program at 1355
657  Pyongyang BS, N. Korea  Good tirades in and out all  morning
666  TP-Mix  JOBK and Radio Mayak producing a weak mix at  1348
675  VOV   Hanoi , Vietnam  In and out with weak  VV talk at 1353
738  BEL2  Penghu, Taiwan  Good strength but obnoxious,  divided
          signal; the "zoom"  sounds (like a male voice) are actually   
          transmitted spurious  signals
