[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-22

Asian conditions improved somewhat this morning, but after yesterday that isn't saying much. A greater collection of big gun TP's showed up, including some Japanese with S9 signals around 1350. A couple of second tier Korean stations and 738 even managed some brief audio, but they bailed

Re: [IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-22

Gary: It appears you had a good morning there. No TP or DU signals were heard here this morning. A signal traveling from Japan or Korea would had to pass through the Auroral Oval on its way to my QTH. Oddly, CHHA 1610 was still audible after sunrise. Good DX. Richard. Sent from my

What sounded like a fairly sedate band suddenly came to life during sunrise enhancement around 1350, featuring some potent signals from the Japanese big guns and 972-HLCA. Other Asians joined the party around the same time, although the enhanced propagation seemed to fizzle out pretty quickly

Hello All, Asian signals were fairly average here this morning with the exception of the low band Japanese, who once again went on a vibrant romp, powered by a sunrise enhancement boost around 1345. At the 1310 start of the session the usual regulars were in and out with fair audio,

I, uh (cough cough), forgot to switch the K9AY back to the northwest lobe last night after hearing the KCKM test. As a result, the antenna had a very big null towards Asia this morning. There were faint carriers on 594 and 1566, but nothing else from that part of the world. Bruce On

Hello All, The band again seemed to be stuck in a Twilight Zone between normal and auroral conditions, with overall results even worse than yesterday. Poor-fair audio from 738-Tahitit and 1566-HLAZ around 1315 was the only sign of TP life, and these fizzled out well before sunrise. It was
