[IRCA] S Meter readings/Portland stations

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Since I removed the termination off the Eastern Beverage a while back, I
notice a difference in S Meter readings so many degres off the 90 degree
beverage. The drop is move noticable in regard to Portland to the SE and
Seattle to NE.

Portland area

620-KPOJ-S9+10 (Was S9+25)
750-KXL-S9+15 (Was S9+20)
800-KPDQ-S9+3 (Was S9+5)
860-KPAM-S9+19  (Was S9+22)

The lower frequencies seem to have a largest drop off. The upper ones
are closer to the same. I do notice the beverage is more directional to
the East than in the past few years. More like the 80s & 90s. Other S
Meter readings are:
