Re: [IRCA] St. Helens Day Trip

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Patrick,
 
     Thanks for your comments.  KOHI's signal and  modulation seemed fine 
yesterday, so maybe it was one of the "good days."   I was quite surprised to 
find that KOHI was the dominant station on 1600 south  of Centralia/Chehalis, and 
another surprise was how suddenly KVRI's signal  dropped in the hilly terrain 
around Castle Rock.
 
     I would have loved to check KOHI's signal to the  south and east, but my 
wife (attracted to Oregon by the lack of a sales tax) got  stuck at the 
Wal-Mart in St. Helens.  So a quick band scan revealed  that St. Helens, as 
expected, was a fairly poor environment for DX, with  the hilly terrain especially 
limiting the signals from central Washington.   It was also very interesting to 
check the strength of the Seattle-Tacoma pests  from so far south (almost 
worth the trip, to hear them cut down to size,  hi).  
 
                                                                              
                       73,   Gary
