[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

[d1028gary]

Dennis' Asian results were quite a bit more favorable than the anemic group 
that showed up here this morning, with clunker conditions prevailing for a 
second straight day. At peak sunrise enhancement around 1405 there was poor to 
fair audio from 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB and 738-Tahiti, with the rest of the TP's 
staying at carrier level. 
  
The presence of 738-Tahiti might have indicated a pretty good DU morning in 
Victoria, but Australian DU's only show up here once in a blue moon-- and that 
blue moon already occurred for this decade (on October 10th).

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

[d1028gary]

Hello All, 
  
Although the Japanese big guns were almost as vibrant as yesterday Asian 
mainland propagation took a step backward this morning, with most of the Korean 
and Chinese stations sounding fairly anemic. With the exception of the Korean 
big guns on 972 and 1053 it was mostly a Japanese show this morning, although a 
late sunrise enhancement boost after 1400 did bring several second-tier Korean 
and Chinese stations out of the noise. 
  
My session started off at 1235 with the Japanese big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 
and 828 the only Asian stations with strong audio, although their signal levels 
were slightly off from yesterday's exceptional strength. In the predawn 
darkness none of the Koreans or Chinese were managing decent audio, a big 
change from yesterday's strong performance of 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer 
prior to 1300. Like yesterday the NHK2 big guns on 693 and 747 were both 
pegging the PL-380 S/N at times after 1300 and 594-JOAK was coming close to 
doing so-- but also like yesterday the second-tier Japanese like 531-JOQG 
(fair) and 585-JOPG (poor) didn't seem to sharing much in the propagation 
bonanza. On the other hand 972-HLCA and the 1053 Jammer never reached 
yesterday's levels, while 603-HLSA and 738-BEL2 only managed fair audio at 
best. A very late sunrise enhancement boost after 1400 brought 603-HLSA (with 
its Chinese co-channel), 657-Pyongyang, 738-BEL2 and a presumed 936-Anhui out 
of the noise with poor to fair signals, while the Chinese stations on 639 and 
1044 were managing threshold audio at times. During the entire session the NHK 
big guns were far and away the strongest, with 594-JOAK and 747-JOIB sticking 
around right up until the band folded around 1440. Best signals of the morning 
were from 693-JOAB and 747-JOIB, both of which pegged the PL-380 S/N display at 
the 25 maximum around 1310.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

[d1028gary]

Hello All, 

As Bill, Dennis and Nick have already reported, it was not one of the season's 
better Asiatic DX mornings. With the exception of the persistent (and seemingly 
aurora-immune) 1575-VOA at a poor level there was no Asiatic audio at all this 
morning, and even no Asiatic carriers from anywhere except Thailand.  
738-Tahiti produced the only decent audio from anywhere across the Pacific this 
morning, showing up with fair French OM speech around 1402. The 738 kHz French 
audio was in and out through most of the morning session (at a better level 
than yesterday), but here in this DU-dead zone there was no trace of any 
Australian or NZ carriers. Hopefully these dreary days are simply the 
mid-October anomaly (like Nick says), and not an indication that this year's 
modest Fall Season is already on the skids.

738  Radio Polynesie  Mahina, Tahiti  Fair French OM speech (apparent 
news) after 1400 TOH; signal in and out throughout session

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

[d1028gary]

Hello All,
 
 
There must have been some happy DXers this morning as Asian signals improved 
quite a bit, with a generous sunrise enhancement that continued until 1450 
here. The NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were all very strong at 
times during the 1300-1450 listening session, along with the Koreans on 657, 
972, 1053 and 1566. As Dennis reported, 1575-VOA also managed good signals from 
1400-1430, and 1287-JOHR acted like a big gun for most of sunrise enhancement.
 
 
Although second-tier Asian audio was modest until around 1415 (with only fair 
audio from 603-HLSA and 738-BEL2 in and out) , a late rally from the Chinese 
mainland stations (and Russia) made the session pretty interesting from 1415 
until the end of sunrise enhancement (around 1450). Both 639-CNR1 and 648-VOR 
came up to good audio during this period, and 918, 927, 936, 981, 1017, 1035, 
1044 and 1323 all managed fair audio in and out of the noise late in the 
session. Best signal of the morning was from 972-HLCA, with its usual S/N 
pegging music around 1355. Although the session was a dramatic improvement over 
yesterday, low expectations after the recent miserable week probably made it 
seem better than it was in comparison with the rest of the season. Even so, 
it's great to have very strong Asian signals back-- even if they are from the 
usual big guns.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

[D1028Gary]

Hello All,
 
 Even though a TP band scan with the modified  ICF-2010 around 1300 
(prior to breakfast) showed promising carriers on  frequencies like 639, 648 
and 738, these signals seemed to fade greatly by  1335, the time that the 9' 
loop was set up in the cold back yard. The  result was a fairly mediocre 
session during which about 10 "big gun"  Asians produced fair to good audio, 
but 
little else. This was similar to a  pre-1330 propagation meltdown about a 
week ago, also noticed by Nick. Like  the situation yesterday (when Bruce 
thought that the TP's flew over  Seattle, and went south to me), this morning 
it seemed that the TP's flew over  Puyallup, and went south to Dennis, in 
Salmon Creek.
 
 There wasn't too much excitement here today,  although the Japanese 
"big guns" seemed to have decent strength. There was very  brief audio from 
936 (presumed Anhui) around 1417, and 729 again had a moderate  signal in CHMJ 
splatter around 1340 (but too weak to determine the language, on  this 
lackluster morning). One of the more ludicrous moments was tuning in  to NHK2 
Chinese language lessons on 828-JOBB at 1412, and finding a Chinese  
co-channel weakly on the frequency (maybe to provide practice opportunities for 
 the 
students?).
 
 The following were heard on a modified C.Crane SWP  Slider model (7.5" 
loopstick), inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned  passive loop (in 
the cold back yard). A modified Sony ICF-2010 (30"  loopstick) was used as an 
SSB spotting receiver:

No DU's during live listening 1345UT and 
afterwards Gary.   JOBB and VoA-1575 managed 
actual readability during that time.  I'll dig in 
the recording tonight...without much hope.

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19

[R. Colin Newell]

There are two factors at work here:

a.) Walter is in Masset so naturally all conditions will take a dive.

b.) I have been setting up a new flag and enhancing the height of my
existing antennas... hence conditions take a dive.

This comes under the influence of Murphy's all encompassing umbrella!

What have discovered with my "set up of the week" which is 1 Flag antenna
and 1 Wellbrook 9-meter loop plugged into a Misek Phaser
(with a VACTROL altering the termination resistance of the FLAG...) is that
I can get absurdly deep nulls on everything... locals, noise sources,
domestic pests.

Last night I effortlessly phased local CFAX 1070 kHz down into the noise
revealing a likely KNX underneath as well as one other station.

Endless fun.

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19.. Ionoshere Goes Wild

[Gary DeBock]

Like Walt, I was pretty much stunned at the Asian signal levels this morning 
after 1400. 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang and 738-BEL2 were all hitting S9+ levels in 
and out (despite Mainland Chinese co-channels), and 639-CNR1 wasn't too far 
behind. 756, 936, 963 and 1035 were all in audio, and even a 5" Frequent Flyer 
FSL had 603, 657 and 738 at S9 levels in the local park. Another 5" FSL had 
657-Pyongyang for extended S9 periods in the back yard at home. Totally wacky!

Actually639 was no better than yesterday during live listening 
1400-30UT, Gary.   The Chinese seem to favo(u)r Puyallup over 
Victoria many mornings.


This morning's interest here was more that some DU's did well, as 
usually, it's either Asians, or DU's, but the trend this season has 
been to have both.   For example, New Zealand was thundering in on 
567 for a short while, and as Walt noted, JOLK and 4QR were trading 
places on 612, and something similar was happening on 891.   As to 
the Chinese, they're there, but so far, not nearly as good as 6 October.


best wishes,

Nick

[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-19.. Doris gets her oats...

[R. Colin Newell]

It was a bag of silly this morning - with everyone getting something
different -

My reception was kind of heavy on the Chinese and light on the Japanese -

as my 9 minute video will reveal -

https://youtu.be/PZ9qnJBkqPQ

Not "out of this World" reception by any stretch - but not too shabby
either.
