[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 11-10
Hello All, It's nice to be in complete agreement with Richard and Bill that this morning's Asian propagation was improved over yesterday, with a healthy sunrise enhancement here producing many vibrant TP signals. The Asian big guns were generally restored to their normal strong levels, although some mystery co-channels pestered them on certain frequencies (a typical quirk of late-season TP propagation). The Korean big gun 972-HLCA has been fighting a battle with an UnID station (apparently Chinese, because of rare Chinese speech) with an English study format from 1430-1530 the past week, although there don't seem to be any reports of such a station format in the PAL, or other recent loggings. A slow English speech format was heard on the station six days ago during one of its rare dominant periods, and it has been pestering HLCA heavily on mornings with good propagation. Another interesting signal was 657-Pyongyang's huge carrier with apparent puny modulation, having the high audio frequencies seemingly reduced by a transmitter issue. 738-BEL2 (Taiwan Fisheries) had another excellent signal this morning with its typical Chinese pop music, and most of the Asian powerhouses were still going strong at 1520, when DXing was cut short here. Hopefully this vibrant transoceanic propagation will continue at least until tonight, allowing a few TA's to make return appearances to western Washington and BC. The following were heard on a C.Crane SWP Slider model (7.5 loopstick), inductively coupled to a 9' sided PVC tuned passive loop (in the back yard).

[IRCA] TP for 10 Nov from Victoria, BC.
I didn't really notice sunrise enhancement today, if only because signals were not bad from 1400UT onwards; really not bad in retrospect, just not too much that was really good. Interesting that Gary has heard EE on 972; I had a SAH on there yesterday, which is unusual, but no audio to argue with the big Korean. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB 774 JOUB 1566 HLAZ reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 567 JOIK //594 at 1504 576 RR talk by man and brief Mayak chimes at 1430UT 594 JOAK 828 JOBB 873 JOGB //774 972 HLCA 1242 JJ talk by man at 1511UT, so JOLF 1287 JOHR JJ talk at 1431 not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker 279 R.

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 10 Nov 2010
