[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-6

[d1028gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,

 
Asian signals were dramatically improved here this morning, with the Japanese stations especially strong  A couple of Japanese (531-JOQG and 1503-JOUK) managed their best-ever signals here, and both Taiwan parallels (738-BEL2 and 1143-BEL3) were easily heard after the 1400 TOH. With potent Asian signals back in force this morning, Nick must have had a blast at Gabriola Island on the BC coast.

 
The Japanese big guns (594, 693, 747, 774, 828 and 1287) were vibrant at the 1315 start of the session, and stayed that way (in and out) right up until 1410. Unlike yesterday, the Korean big guns on 972 and 1053 were potent right along with them, with 1566-HLAZ and 1575-VOA also having fair audio in and out. Nick's "fun station" 972-HLCA had its usual huge signal around 1353 with bizarre Karaoke practice, managing the best TP signal of the session.The second-tier Korean parallels on 558 and 603 managed good audio in and out, with 603 especially strong around the 1400 TOH. The 10 kW Japanese NHK1 station 531-JOQG hit a fair peak at 1355 to reach its best-ever audio here, and 1503-JOUK did the same with an excellent signal (in and out) late around 1410. Around 1403 the Taiwan parallels were easily matched with their Chinese female-voiced news, with 738-BEL2 having good audio, and 1143-BEL3 having fair (about as strong as it's ever managed here).

 
The only group which didn't seem to participate in the party this morning were the Mainland Chinese stations, which seemed to be either anemic or missing in action. Usually 603-China puts in some signal against HLSA, but not today. Both the Chinese domestic stations (on 639, 756, 918, 927, 936, 981,1035 and 1593) and the CRI stations (on 963, 1017 and 1044) never got very far out of the noise this morning, which was a pretty stark contrast with the Japanese, Korean and Taiwan stations. Neither 648-VOR or 657-Pyongyang were very vibrant, either, apparently suffering from the same Asian mainland propagation funk. In summary it was an excellent morning for the Japanese and Korean big guns, along with many second-tier TP's from those countries. I'm pretty sure that Nick had his hands full logging all the 5 kW Japanese stations showing up on the coast :-)
