[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-8

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     After the appearance of several "big gun" TA's on  the west coast last 
night it seemed like Fall Season propagation was  finally living up to 
expectations. This morning's Asian results were fairly  good, but the variety 
and signal strength of the "second tier"  TP's dropped off a little, in 
comparison to the excellent results  of the last couple of days.
     The band was already alive with signals at 1400,  with the Asian "big 
guns" doing especially well. 603-HLSA managed unusually  strong audio around 
1503 (occasionally with its UnID Chinese co-channel) for its  best 
performance of the season, and at 1453 the Chinese Synchros on 639-CNR1  were also 
close to their best seasonal level. All the usual Asian  mega-stations on 
648, 657, 666 and 675 had decent audio at times, with  648-VOR's 1500 UTC 
Korean program now becoming more vibrant with the  progressively later sunrise 
enhancement period. In comparison to yesterday the  signals from 738-BEL2, 
1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA were down slightly, along  with the Chinese on 756, 936 
and 1035. The NHK "big guns" were still going  strong at 1520 when things 
needed to be wrapped up here, and along with the  new Standard Time schedule 
locally, the sunrise enhancement periods will  continue to get even later 
each morning.
     Some late-season changes seem to be taking place,  with the Asian "big 
guns" on 594, 828 and 972 starting to have pesky  Chinese co-channels like 
last year (along with an occasional appearance of  the KBS1 co-channel under 
594-JOAK). Last November several of the NHK  mega-stations started to have 
weaker signals toward the end of the  month, allowing these obscure 
co-channels to rise up and be  heard.
 
     The following were received on the 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:
