I haven't seen any other TP-DX reports this morning, so maybe it was another session limited to Puyallup and Victoria? In any case the Asians weren't slowed down at all here by any solar activity, managing another good sunrise enhancement session all across the band (on a 5" FSL antenna).
The Japanese big guns were leading the way at my 1320 start time, with 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB and 747-JOIB already with good signals in the predawn darkness. The Korean big guns on 972 and 1566 were at similar strength in and out, while a large collection of second tier Asians on 603, 657, 738, 1134, 1575 and 1593 were in and out of the noise. As sunrise enhancement kicked in around 1340 some of these came into fairly decent audio at times, especially 603-HLSA, 657-Pyongyang, 1134-JOQR and 1575-VOA. The NHK big guns continued their dominance throughout the session, with 828-JOBB joining the others after the daylight boost. Like yesterday the party fizzled shortly after 1400, possibly a premature collapse related to solar activity. In any case there was definitely enough propagation and variety to keep Nick busy in his file review tonight. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Japanese male and female speech and interval music at good level at 1326 https://app.box.com/s/4xjlp1pu5dp2jt5jshjrtbxd9l505s2g 657 Pyongyang BS Pyongyang, N.
