[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-4

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
It was a Japanese-dominated session this morning with potent signals from all the usual NHKÂbig gunsÂon 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828, and an exceptional signal from 693-JOAB late in sunrise enhancement around 1445. Signals from Korea and China wereÂgenerally lackluster during the session, although 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer both reachedÂoccasional good levels, andÂthere were brief appearances of 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang at fair levelsÂprior toÂa moderate sunrise enhancement. 
 
My session started off at 1340 with both 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB atÂsteady good levels, along with fair audio from 747-JOIB, 774-JOUB, 828-JOBB, 972-HLCA, the 1053-Jammer and 1566-HLAZÂin and out of the domestic splatter. Second-tier Asians showing up at the time were 603-HLSA (poor, mixing with China), 657-Pyongyang (poor to fair) and 738-BEL2 (poor, in KCBS splatter). The NHK big guns on 747, 774 and 828 all managed very good signals in the predawn darkness, with 828-JOBB hitting a brief excellent level around 1415 with its NHK2 Korean lessons (its best performance of the season).These signals pretty much stayed the same until aÂselective sunrise enhancement boost kicked in around 1430, raising 693-JOAB up to an exceptional level, and 594-JOAK up toÂexcellent strength. The second-tier Asians and the Korean big guns on 972 and 1053 were not impressed by the sunrise enhancement and bailed early (around 1440), while 693-JOAB continued to build up strength until 1445, hitting its best level of the season (andÂmost likely its best level ever, here).ÂPounding in with a Japanese female storyteller at the time, it sounded very much like it does during an ocean coast DXpedition. It quickly collapsed along with the other Japanese around 1450, though, ending a session completely dominated by the NHK big guns.
