[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-9

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
It was far and away the best TP morning of the new season so far, as several Korean and Chinese stations finally came out of the woodwork with fair signals. 603-HLSA and 738-BEL2 (Taiwan) made their first decent appearance, and the usual big guns on 594, 693, 747, 828, 972 and 1053 were vibrant. 738-Taiwan managed its best signal since 2011 here, and several Chinese mainland stations (639, 936 and 1377) managed their first audio of the season (although on 603 it was all HLSA, with no trace of Chinese). This was the first morning of the new season that really seemed interesting for Asian TP-DXing, and hopefully an indication of good things to come later this month.
