Hello Guy,
The weird Puyallup effect works both ways. I never heard any of your
reported DU's this month, or any of your high-band Japanese catches. Your
high-band loggings are generally better than what I experience here.
Your antenna is certainly superior to the loops I have been using, but it
seems like this NW Puyallup location has some compensating advantage on the
low band, possibly because of a minor salt water effect from Puget Sound
(about 4 miles away). Often the low-band Asians will show up here with good
audio, even on the days when others report them as mediocre. On this
morning, for example, 639, 657, 666, 675 and 738 all had good audio from Asia,
along with a weak Asian on 792 which was an UnID with threshold audio.
73, Gary

Hi Gary,
What a difference a few miles can make! I reviewed my Perseus WAV files
from
this morning, and found NOTHING on 639 kHz around 1335 UTC. Only earlier,
around 1315, did I find any scraps of audio. It was so weak and splatter
covered that I couldn't identify the language to tell if it was Chinese or
not...absolutely NOTHING like the MP3 you sent me of 639 as heard on your
ultralights this morning.
From my side of Puyallup, the best signals were 972 HLCA South Korea and
1575 VOA Thailand, at fair to good levels 1245-1345 most of the time. I
only
found a weak het on 1332 kHz at 1330.

Hello All,
Once again, some stations seemed to defy the generally lackluster
conditions here, with Chinese stations especially bucking the trend.
639-CNR1 had its best signal of the month here, providing good audio for
an MP3 at 1335. Audio was also noted on 936 and 738 (presumed Taiwan),
but
not nearly as strong as on 639. Other than these exceptions, the morning
was
nothing to shout about, and as usual here, DU's failed to cross the
South
Hill barrier.
73, Gary
