[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 4-3

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
A short but sharp sunrise enhancement boost around 1315Âraised the signals of several low band Japanese big guns up toÂdecent levels, but signals from elsewhere were lacking. The high bandÂdid not share in the propagation boost, and all the AsiansÂbailed out in aÂdramatic collapseÂaround 1335. 
 
At my 1300 start time very little was happening, although 603-HLSA (of all stations)Âwas managing very weak audio around 1303 with the deep voiced male talking with a female guest. That signal soon faded for the duration, but 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB and 747-JOIB all got a decent propagation boost with the increasing daylight around 1315-- reaching good levels in and out until around 1330. 594-JOAK was the steadiest of the bunch, and although 747-JOIB had an equally strong signal it was troubled both by the Puget Sound mystery noise and 750-Portland splatter. The Korean regulars on 603, 972, 1053Âand 1566Âwere all off in strength this morning, with HLAZ the only high band TP to show up at all (with fair peaks in and out). Around 1335 somethingÂpretty drastic seemed to happed to the TP propagation, with all of the Japanese NHK stations collectively bailing out in unison. Such was the story of a pretty strange session.
