[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-17

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Despite theÂlackluster reports from Victoria this morning's session did haveÂan unusual offering-- the best signal fromÂthe 1035-CNR1 synchros ever received here (fair) around 1345. That was a pretty bizarre reception, though, seeming to go against the trend of a mediocreÂmorning for everything else. 
 
Two band checks at 1300 and 1330 confirmed the dreary situation that Colin and Nick hadÂdescribed, with all the Asian signals subdued.ÂThe usual NHK big guns and 1566-HLAZ seemed to be struggling,Âand nothing else was in audio. Figuring that the session would turn out to be a clunker I debated whether to set upÂthe FSL antenna as usual in the back yard,Âbut after hearing an unusually strong carrier on 1035 (with the distinctive, warbling sound of the poorly synchronized CNR1 stations) I decided to do so. Around 1345 theseÂ1035-CNR1 synchros managed a fair peak with Chinese male speech-- their best level ever here in Puyallup. Despite this almost no other Asians sounded healthy at the time,Âwith the NHK bigÂguns and 1566-HLAZ still struggling, and only the 1053-Jammer matching 1035 with fair audio. Around 1400 the Japanese on 594, 693, 747 and 828 finally got untracked, but of these only 594 reached a good level (around 1405). 972-HLCA also came up to a brief good level at 1359, and a weak mix of HLSA and China appeared on 603. Late on in the session both 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 came out of the noise to reach fair peaks before collapsing withÂthe other AsiansÂaround 1415. Overall it was aÂbizarre session, without much of interest except the unusual signal from 1035-CNR1 at 1345.
