Hi Pete,

The plot thickens! Thanks for sharing this information.

Before I drove around the church in Mill Creek, I drove about five blocks
past it to the west (toward Lynnwood) and found the signal drop, drop,
dropping. After picking it up the strongest near the apartments across from
the church, I thought it likely that the transmitter was in the area.

Based on the engineer's info and my location this afternoon at 164th St. SE
and North Road, the distance to a spot half-way between Boeing Field and
Hwy. 99 is three miles.

If it's indeed a single transmitter in Lynnwood, maybe the groundwave varies
a lot depending on the surrounding terrain. A drive between the two
neighborhoods should settle this once and for all.

BTW, I thought I heard an ID at 12 noon that sounded like "Radio Enshah" or
"Radio Enya" or something like that.

73,

Yesterday I talked with the CE of KCIS-630 who was intrigued enough
to ask a friend (a contract engineer) to check it out. The results:

Mill Creek and Lynnwood are about five air miles apart but based on
the mv reading from across the street, it seems unlikely that a
single station at either location would be "loud" at the other. At
the same time, unless they were synced (unlikely), they would clash
significantly between both locations.

Anyone want to hit both locations on the same day?
