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

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

To Paul, Chuck, Powell, Russ and other East Coast DXers,
 
     One of the reasons why KOHI is so intensely  interesting to DXers in the 
Northwest is because it is a kind of a "perfect  storm" of poor signal 
conditions (i.e. a mediocre transmitting site, radial  problems, terrible nearby QRM 
on 1600, low transmitting power, etc.).   Because of these collective 
negative factors, however, KOHI-1600 becomes a  very tough and desirable DX target 
for those with a chance to log it (maybe  in Oregon, western Washington and 
lower B.C.)
 
     Unfortunately, DXers outside of these areas  probably have as much 
chance of logging KOHI as winning the lottery... it's just  not going to happen.  
Even though the discussion is DX-related and  very interesting to those of us 
involved (and will probably continue), we  probably need to remember that we 
are a distinct minority on the list, and be  sensitive to those who are already 
bored to death with the thread.   The concepts of a tough-luck station apply 
everywhere, but KOHI-1600 has  already undoubtedly become the most famous 
tough-luck station in history.
 
                                                                              
        73,  Gary
