Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] KORC 820 Waldport OR power boost. from 1 KW to 5 KW

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hi Patrick,
 
During two recent trips to Lincoln City (about 80 miles south of you, on  
the coast) I was amazed at how the salt water beach propagation boosted up 
all  kinds of signals, both wanted and unwanted. Some San Francisco area "big 
guns"  (810 and 1530) hung around all day, and Seattle splatter (570, 710, 
and  770) was almost bizarre in its strength. As I recall, 820 already had 
KGNW at  good strength in Lincoln City, making 819 kHz practically unusable 
for  DU-chasing. KORC's power increase won't help.

Depending on their ground conductivity up here too. Waldport is a  lot
closer than Coquille. Coquille is over 200 miles and Waldport is  115.
KORC is listenable, but does have KGNW QRM. KORC may do some work  to
improve their tower also. I get the idea from the e mail, KORC wants  to
sell in Newport/Lincoln City and down into Florence. I don't  remember
the powerline noise issue in Waldport the last time I was there,  but
farther down at Reedsport, there is a lot of powerline noise and  that
was the main reason KDUN boosted power. The PUDs don't seem to have  the
work crew to run down noise. I am glad we have Pacific Power up here  as
they try to fix the issues. Time will tell to see what their 5 KW  sounds
like. I fiqure if I can hear them up here now, the boost should  make
quite a difference.

Patrick
