Re: [IRCA] KOHI-1600's Underwhelming Signal

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Patrick and Dennis,
 
     KOHI-1600 actually has a very poor signal here on  daytime groundwave, 
but I did notice something interesting, related to the  superiority of 
salt-water beach DX locations (like Patrick's).
 
     As weak as KOHI-1600 is at my house about 4 miles  from a Puget Sound 
salt water beach,  KOHI's weak signal (under KVRI)  disappears completely when I 
drive about 10 miles inland.  When actually on  the beach at a park in 
Tacoma, the signals of both KVRI and KOHI come up  significantly, so that KOHI's 
talk format is usually pretty steady, under a  louder KVRI  (this was on a 
barefoot Sony ICF-EX5 portable).
 
     Both the "Astoria Daytime Band Scan" and the  "Vancouver Daytime Band 
Scan" were very interesting and helpful here.   Maybe we should all move to a 
salt water beach?
 
                                                                              
                     73's   Gary
