[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Ultralight TP's for 10-9

What sounded like a promising band with a diverse collection of Asian signals around 1300 failed to deliver very much because of a lackluster sunrise enhancement. Chinese mid-band stations on 936, 1017, 1035, 1044 and 1323 all had threshold audio in the predawn darkness, but slowly sank into

Hello All,   Unlike Nigel's dreary report Asian signals did continue a positive trend here this morning, with several second-tier TP's managing weak audio in between the vibrant big guns. 738-BEL2 managed its best audio of the new season (fair) around 1253, while both 603 and 657 had weak

Did not see it myself -- listened from 1200 through 1240 -- and maybe I did not give it enough time... At times 747 Japan and 972 were arm chair -- but little in the way of variety or excitement... in fact, spot checks of Korea on 2850 and WWV on 5000 revealed somewhat auroral conditions... It

Hello All, Nigel certainly hit it on the head, even for the coast-- a real clunker of a morning, which no doubt sent DXers scrambling to check their antennas. It looked like there might be no TP audio at all here, but 594-JOAK finally broke through with poor Japanese conversation at 1345,

Hello All, Asian signal strength was markedly improved here this morning, but where Walt had the Japanese dominating, it was the Chinese and Koreans that received the propagation boost here. Like Bruce I had several co-channel mysteries (639, 756 and 936) that remained mysteries, and

Gary I checked Anhui's website earlier this week when their English program first came up. According to the Google translation of the program schedule, Anhui has a bilingual program at 22:00-22:30 local time, 1400-1430 UTC Monday to Friday. On weekends they air something that translated

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your investigation of 936-Anhui's programming (and also for the detailed work that you and Chuck devote to the Pacific Asian Log, the definitive resource for TP-DXers). The music on 936 this morning sounded Chinese to me, but since it certainly wasn't American music
