Re: [IRCA] St. Helens Day Trip

[vroomski@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for reporting your St. Helens drive.  I was able to receive KOHI up to Castle Rock in our
1997 Tracer.  Now the station could be weaker than when I drove up I-5 in May.  Did you notice any  HAS in Castle Rock area?  It was heard last fall while driving through the area.
