[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 2-23

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

Inspired by Walt S. (and his early morning job dedication) I decided to
dedicate a little early morning time to chasing Asian DX. The Asian
sunset period proved to be a bonanza for "big gun" TP signals this
early morning around 1030 UTC (0230 local), with the new 5" FSL
antenna pulling in fairly vibrant Asian signals on a barefoot Tecsun
PL-380 right next to the bed. 828-JOBB even had its best signal here
in over a year using this modest DXing combination. Despite this new
experience, it seems that having a semi-effective DX antenna right next
to the pillow is probably not the best concept for ensuring proper
sleep.

558  JOCR  Kobe, Japan  Fair with Japanese music and talk at 1018
594  JOAK  Tokyo, Japan  Good with male-female Japanese conversation
          and music at 1033  http://www.mediafire.com/?m8f6vqrij5va5xs
657   Pyongyang, N. Korea  Thankfully weak with tirades and obsolete
         music at 1030 (apparently before the best Korean propagation)
747  JOIB  Sapporo, Japan  Good with Japanese talk in heavy KXL splatter
774  JOUB  Akita, Japan  Good NHK2 language program at 1100
828  JOBB  Osaka, Japan  Steady fair-good level; lengthy Japanese
         male monolog at 1035  http://www.mediafire.com/?6yrf3ap5kk8arw2
972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Poor-fair Korean music rising above
         domestic splatter at 1035
1053  Korean Jammer  Best Korean signal at 1019 (and better programming
        than 657-Pyongyang)  http://www.mediafire.com/?0pky54jpw6ljdap
1134  JOQR  Tokyo, Japan  Weak Japanese talk in heavy Vancouver
        splatter around 1032
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Fair-good Korean language religious program
        at 1053  http://www.mediafire.com/?7axo1vi5gsiadj1

73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
