Re: [IRCA] West Coast 846 KHz

[Gary DeBock <d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the update on 850-KHHO's non-IBOC status, Pete. Once conditions improve, that will open up 837 and 864 for TP-DXing here.

With 846-Kiribati only 4 kHz away from the local pest, the Pacific Island station is still a pretty challenging catch here. Fortunately its null bearing (to the NW) is ideal for reception of Kiribati on FSL antennas.

The Puyallup valley is a notorious DU-dead zone, and the IBOC pest 850-KHHO is only 4 air miles away from my DXing spot. Despite this 846-Kiribati made it through with its best-ever audio here (fair) at 0720 UTC (26 minutes ago).
