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

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

The Japanese and Korean big gun TP's probably had their best signals of the season here this morning, with 972-HLCA in particular having awesome strength. The Chinese mega-stations were back to normal strength, and 1575-VOA was also vibrant. Shortly after the 1400 TOH the Korean big gun 972-HLCA pegged the PL-380 S/N readout with its strongest signal ever received here in the past 5 years (despite the "off year" solar cycle). Chinese big guns on 603, 639, 738, 936 and 1044 were in and out with decent audio at times, and the band was still going strong at 1405 when I needed to cut short the DXing session. There were many second-tier TP frequencies showing up with audio during sunrise enhancement, but nowhere near enough time to go after them. Thanks to Richard and Dennis for their reports-- and I hope that some of these vibrant TP signals will show up in Oklahoma for Richard later this month.
