Re: [IRCA] Yakima, WA-1610 HAR

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Hello Patrick,
 
     Thanks for the info, and glad you received the  review.  The Yakima-1610 
TIS has been at the noise level every night for  about a week, but the MW550P 
(as soon as I figured out how to use it) finally  provided enough of a boost 
to ID the location.
     Last month, when visiting Ocean Shores, I recall  hearing a Coast Guard 
TIS station in Aberdeen that I believe was on 1610, giving  weather reports, 
but Pendleton also seems possible on skywave.
     BTW, the S5W has great performance when coupled to  the MW550P, giving 
sensitivity about the same as a barefoot R8.  Paul,  at Palstar, quickly 
serviced my MW550P unit, and sent it back with an  impedance-matching transformer 
for my high-impedance loop (on the tower).   If you try this combination (S5W to 
MW550P) with your outstanding EWE's and  beverages, I think you will be 
really surprised!
 
                                                                              
                     73,  Gary
