[IRCA] Puyallup, WA Daytime Band Scan

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello All,
 
     Greatly helped by the daytime band scans of  Patrick Martin, Dennis 
Vroom and Charles Taylor, I am pleased to submit my own  daytime band scan.  
Located about 4 miles from the Port of Tacoma in  the Puyallup River Valley, my 
location is far from the best, but being exactly  the same distance from Portland 
and Vancouver (B.C.), hopefully it will be of  interest to some DXers here in 
the Northwest.
     The equipment was a Drake R8, a Palstar MW550P  preselector, a matching 
transformer, and a 71' square-shaped loop mounted on a  40' tower (actually, 
the driven element of a 14 MHz 2-element quad).

     All stations were received from 11:00AM to 2:00PM  local time, and the 
antenna (somewhat directional) was left in a position to  optimize reception 
from the north and south. The antenna favors the higher  frequencies, even when 
the matching transformer is used.
 
                                                                              
                            73,   Gary DeBock
