[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-25

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
<< As Albert Einstein once said, insanity is doing the same thing  over and 
over, and expecting different results each time.  I'm not sure  what that 
says about our hobby >>   Bruce 
      Bruce, Maybe the 2010 Fall Season version of  this principle is 
getting up eagerly every morning to chase TP's, always staying  optimistic that 
they will somehow be as strong and numerous as they were  during last year's 
Fall Season?  :-)  
      It was another "low average" Asian morning  at best here, with a few 
Japanese "big guns" producing decent audio, but little  else. Asiatic 
propagation started off with fair signals at 1300, which  proceeded to dive into 
the noise in unison around 1330 (like yesterday). Sunrise  enhancement 
started around 1400, and brought fair-good signals from  594-JOAK, 747-JOIB and 
828-JOBB, with 1134-JOQR following the Japanese "big gun"  trend in the middle 
band. 558-HLQH, 657-Pyongyang, 738-BEL2 and  972-HLCA made occasional fair 
appearances, and 936-Anhui (presumed) managed  a few moments at threshold 
audio. The lackluster band continued to offer  weak TP's until around 1450, 
although by that time only 594-JOAK was managing  any strength. Hopefully this 
extended, mediocre propagation is related to  the unfavorable solar 
indexes, and not an indication that  the underwhelming Fall Season is taking an 
early swoon.
 
     The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider  model (7.5" 
loopstick) inductively coupled to a 6' sided "Nasty Weather" PVC  tuned passive loop 
(replacing the 9' loop because of heavy rain in the back  yard this 
morning):

657  Pyongyang BS, N. Korea  Poor-fair Korean shouting rising  above 
         the noise during maximum  sunrise enhancement (around 1430)
738  BEL2  Penghu, Taiwan  Fair Chinese talk program at  1420
747  JOIB  Sapporo, Japan  Fair-good Radio English  Conversation

774  JOUB  Akita, Japan  Fair-good Radio Chinese program  occasionally
         making it through  KTTH splatter around 1415
828  JOBB  Osaka, Japan  Weaker than 774 // at 1416, but  easier to
         copy because of clear  frequency
936  Anhui, China (presumed)  Threshold music audio at 1412
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Weak Korean speech at  maximum dawn
         enhancement (around  1430)
1134  JOQR  Tokyo, Japan Fair-good Japanese speech rising above 
         domestic splatter at 1405,  but gone by 1415
 
73 and Good DX,
