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

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

This morning the band followed the typical late October doldrum pattern as sunrise enhancement didn't really enhance anything. At 1305 (in total darkness) some Asiatic big gun signals were doing OK, but it was all downhill from there-- without even 738-Tahiti showing up as a consolation prize.  Best audio during the lackluster session was from the two Korean big guns on 972 and 1053, as the Japanese stayed down in the noise. Poor audio in and out from 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA rounded out the mediocre morning, with all the TP's taking a collective swoon around 1345. The fact that Richard, Bill and Dennis didn't seem to do much better receiving TP's this morning makes the dreary session seem a little easier to tolerate-- maybe misery likes company?

972  HLCA  Dangjin, S. Korea  Fair-good Korean YL speech at 1305
1053  Korean Jammer  Good throbbing buzz at 1311
1566  HLAZ  Jeju, S. Korea  Poor Japanese OM audio in and out
              at 1308; very unstable signal
1575  VOA  Ban Rassom, Thailand  Poor Asiatic language threshold
             audio in and out at 1314

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