[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-6

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Asiatic propagation was improved from most areas  this morning, 
especially from China and Korea. There were interesting TP  mixes on both 639 and 
756 kHz as the CNR1 stations had persistent  co-channels, and the 936-China 
(presumed Anhui) station was in with strong audio  again. The Japanese 
strength seemed about normal for October, but the Russians  on 549, 576 and 648 
didn't seem especially strong. The daily 738-BEL2 funky  signal soap opera 
continued with a humming noise now added to the raspy  audio (one of three 
common variations heard recently), and the Chinese on 918  and 927 had decent 
audio at times.
 
     The most interesting frequency was 639 kHz, where  an Asiatic language 
co-channel under CNR1 (not // with 594-JOAK) had  been observed here a 
couple of times previously. This morning a  classical music station (again not 
// 594) was mixing it up on 639 with CNR1  around 1358, fading in when CRN1 
faded out. Right after a classical music song  there was apparent Korean male 
speech, in a voice different from that of the  CNR1 male announcer. 
Unfortunately the 50 kw Korean station on the  frequency (HLKC) is listed as the 
anchor for the Korean KBS3 network, for which  there was no parallel to check 
at the time. Another interesting mix was on 756  kHz around 1407, where the 
CNR1 synchros had a weak TP co-channel for the  first time. It also sounded 
Korean, but unfortunately too weak  to be sure (the standard KBS1 parallel 
on 711 is wiped out by 710-KIRO  here). Anyway, it's fun to see mystery TP 
stations showing up again, even if  they stay that way for a while.
 
     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
