[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 3-5 (Conclusion)

2018-03-06 Thread Gary DeBock
As Nick described in his detailed Victoria report there was somewhat of a Chinese propagation breakthrough around daybreak here on the west coast, but unlike on February 15th it was limited, and ran out of steam pretty quickly. Here in Puyallup its main presence was noticed on 639, but 603 and

Hi Nick, <<< I suspect that 918 isn't easy for you at home Gary? (or is 920 not too bad QRM?) Usually here, 918 is a flash in the pan, but this morning there was a big carrier there for quite some time. Audio wasn't great, but was definitely parallel to the webstream

Another Chinese-dominated sunrise enhancement session hit the low band this morning from 1400-1440, with 639-CNR1 managing S7 peaks in and out, and both 603-China and 657-China ending up dominating the Korean regulars on their frequencies by 1425 (although neither reached very strong levels).

Gary, I started at 14:30 after an alert from Colin. By then, I think the peak had just passed. Still plenty of purely Asian DX, but quickly died, with a few brief bursts of life from 594, 747, 774, and 828 and occasionally 1566. 73, Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC On Sun, Mar 6, 2016 at 1:07 AM,

The Victoria session looked very similar but I spent more time basking in unusual audio popping up in different places and not spending much time chasing ID's - Session time: 1315 until 1450 -- one of my longest sessions in the season. Audio, often fair noted on: 558, 567, 594, 603, 612, 639,

It was an excellent Asian morning on the low band during sunrise enhancement today, with several less common TP's coming out of the noise to reach fair levels. 603-China and 657-Pyongyang (with a weak TP co-channel) were the main attractions early on around 1410, but 639-CNR1 and 738-BEL2

Hello All,   Another fairly sharp sunrise enhancement around 1415 brought several low and middle band Asians up to good levels, although the high band stayed comatose throughout the session. Several unusual Asians on 657, 936 and 1044 also made  brief appearances, but didn't sound very

Hello All, Asian results here this morning were somewhat similar to those reported by Dennis, minus the excitement on 1215 of course (there is an exotic Spanish station in Federal Way on 1210, ruining the frequency here). At the 1410 start of my session quite a few low band Asians were

Hello All, There was some unusually good (for March) reception of 1575-VOA in Thailand from 1415-1430 UTC this morning, which was the only major sign of TP life during a rather lackluster session. 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA were the only other Asians to reach audio level this morning, both
