Hey Bruce:

I gotta believe someone is going down, maybe KHHO. With KRKO boosting its
power, it stands a better chance, although with KIRO as an ESPN competitor
with the Mariners, who knows - KRKO may become redundant? Having 4 sports
stations in a market that is a lukewarm sports town (what was that
basketball team's name - the Sominex?) seems excessive, even though KHHO
and KRKO are technically in Tacoma and Everett, respectively.
KIRO has the Mariners and KJR has UW football. It's hard to tell which one is worst off :)

I have to agree with you on KHHO, especially when you consider how much their coverage overlaps with KJR and the amount of programming they simulcast.
At any rate, I stand a pretty good chance of QSLing the new KIRO, even
though I am a little over 10 miles from its transmitter.  Poor you, some
20 miles away, their 50,000 watts may not reach you...

I managed to QSL KIRO in the early 70's but I lived about 7 miles from the transmitter at the time. As I recall, I was able to hear them by biting down on the end of my longwire and using my tooth fillings as a diode detector.
