[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-5

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All, 
 
Despite the latest solar tantrum three low band Japanese big guns did make the trip this morning, with one of them reaching a fairly goodÂlevel.ÂThe Koreans and Chinese wereÂcompletely missing in action, however-- and even 738-Tahiti stayed away, despite the solar shenanigans. 
 
At my 1415 start time 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB were the only Asians with audio (poor to fair), or even heterodynes. Both of these low band big guns were in and out throughout the session, and were joined by a noise-plagued 747-JOIBÂaround 1440. 594-JOAK hit a fair to good peak at 1425, while 693-JOAB did the same around 1438. 747-JOIB had a tough time getting through the mystery electrical noise (plaguing all of the south Puget Sound area), and only reached a poor level. The three Japanese big gunsÂreceived no boost from the rise of the overactive sun, and collectively bailed around 1450. It was a far fromÂexciting session, but probably the best that could be expectedÂgiven the current solar tantrum.
