Re: [IRCA] New Station KARI 550 Blaine, WA

[Dennis Vroom <vroomski@xxxxxxxxx>]

At Grayland one evening I was able to phase down KNBR 680 and was receiving NPR programming.
Listen about 20 minutes and no KBRW ID and it was getting late (11:00 PM) as I was 
getting up at 4:00 AM to DX TP's.  Left the recorder running with the NPR program over 
KNBR's sports talk.  Checked the recording the next day in hopes of a KBRW ID and found 
KNBR with a rerun of SF Giants baseball on top of the channel.  The signals changed and the 
phasing left KNBR on top of the channel.  I found a live stream of KBRW, but could not get 
it to work this evening. 

Best regards, 
 
Dennis,
Kalama, WA

It took years to finally ID KBRW fo me living on the Northern Oregon
Coast. KNBR SF is a powerhouse here running 50 KW ND 24/7. It is easier
to log stations to the East on 680, that North. Plus CHFA is in the way.
I knew I had logged KBRW in the past, but I could never get an ID from
them. The format matched, but at ID time, too much KNBR, until a few
years ago during a very good Northern opening that gave KBRW a slight
edge in signal. I caught their weather forecast, IDs, and even IDs for
their translators. But it wasn't easy phasing down KNBR enough. KBRW is
a good verifier too. I have their bumper sticker on the back of my van.
  Living in AK for 12-1/2 years (55-67), AK has always been an interest
to me. I only need a few stations to have them all, so I keep trying
from Fall to Spring KTKN-930, KBBI-890, KENI-650 and KFQD-750 are the
easiest here.
