[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 9-17 (Conclusion)

The Asian big guns sounded big indeed this morning as unusually good propagation extended for a second day, but the second-tier TP's seemed to drop off significantly. 594, 657, 1053 and 1566 managed their best signals of the new season so far, though, with most of the other regulars showing up

Thanks to Richard, Walt and Dennis for their earlier reports. Asian propagation was again well above average here for September of a lean solar year, with the Japanese and Korean big guns on 594, 1053 and 1566 exceptionally strong. Most of the other Japanese and Korean regulars were pretty

Thanks to Colin for his initial report, and I certainly can agree with him that Asian signals improved quite dramatically this morning. Both the Japanese and Korean big guns reached good levels across the band, and there were a few unusual stations that showed up. For the first time this season

---BeginMessage--- Hello All, This morning's dreary session was probably the worst clunker of the new season so far, with only a couple of Asians managing very poor audio. With conditions obviously disturbed and without any South Pacific propagation (in this DU-dead zone), it was a real

Hello All, As Richard reported there was somewhat of a drop off in TP propagation this morning, with decent audio pretty much limited to the big guns (594, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1053 and 1134) here. Two minor exceptions were 558 and 603, the latter of which had a low-level snarl between

Hello All, It was a very strange morning here as the Japanese big guns were strangely weak, but several Chinese (led by the new powerhouse on 603 kHz) were as strong as ever. The Koreans were somewhat in between, with some fair signals like 558-HLQH and the 1053-Jammer but others like

Gary, you're right about being in a location where no DU are heard. Everyone else, including me, were hearing an abundance of DU today! Cheers,...Walt On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 3:04 PM, d1028g...@aol.com wrote: Hello All, It was a very strange morning here as the Japanese big guns were

Hello All, The TP propagation here this morning seemed a lot closer to Nigel's positive version than to Dennis' results, so maybe the parallel universes are finally coming into convergence? In any case, it's safe to say that the doldrums of the past two days are over, although it
