Re: [IRCA] Request - Seattle, WA - midday TOH recording of KNTS

[Stephen Airy <pianoplayer88key@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the recording.  Now I'm wishing I had also recorded at around 1pm local time, for a better comparison.  Here's my 10-minute recording made from 11:57am to 12:07pm, in case someone wants to hear what the signal is like here.   http://tinyurl.com/PL606-1680-201102251957

Picking out "KNTS Seattle" from my recording is going to be nearly impossible, though, considering its brevity in your recording.  I don't know if I'll be home tomorrow midday, but if I am, I may try to record it again for a few minutes at 12pm and/or 1pm.  I would appreciate a locally-generated recording at around that time, if possible.  I registered for globaltuners.com, but I wasn't able to even connect to the Toledo, WA tuner (south of Centralia), and I'm not even sure if it would be able to pick up the signal considering it's outside the predicted fringe radio-locator contour.

Of course, co-channel interference from KGED Fresno may make things difficult, although earlier today there was little if any competition from them.  One more possibility remains, though, which I didn't check - it could be a spur from local Radio Nueva Vida outlet 1130 KSDO, whose 10kW is 6 miles north of me.  (I don't think it's them, though, as I've never heard the RNV TOH network ID music on 1680.)

Alternatively, if someone could listen to my recording and ID the station that way, that would be appreciated.  (I also have a few other recordings, as well, but they may be more subject to co-channel interference.)

I think I may be hearing them at noon near San Diego, CA, but the signal is very weak and I have yet to be able to make out their legal TOH ID.  Having a recording so I know what to listen for next time I try for them would help, and be greatly appreciated.  (I suspect it's KNTS, as KGED Fresno, CA, the closest station to me, is Asian language, and I'm hearing Spanish (KNTS is the next closest.))
