Re: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP

Thanks Bruce,  Covington was the closest city I could find close to the coordinates. With 625w, they should cover that area ok. It will be interesting to see how you and other Puget sound DXers receive them. 625w from a 65 vertical wire is not much. If it is in a residential area, I wonder what they are using for the support, a tree, a building?

It will operate using a vertical wire of approx 20 meters in height from a location of 47.38.39  122.09.25  at 1/4 night time power of 625 watts. This is due to the loss of their lease of the transmitter site.
