Re: [IRCA] KOHI-1600's Underwhelming Signal

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

Patrick, Dennis and All,
 
     KOHI's wispy daytime signal here in the south  Puget Sound area seems 
completely related to the "salt water effect."   Driving inland, even for a few 
miles, makes the S1 signal disappear completely,  leaving only KVRI.  It's a 
very tough daytime catch here in Puyallup (4  miles from salt water), and it 
took me 3 days to confirm it, before local  sunset.
 
     It would be most interesting to check KOHI's  signal while driving the 
I-5 freeway, from Portland to Seattle.  My guess  is that KOHI would disappear 
somewhere around Centralia/Chehalis, and weakly  reappear around Olympia, due 
to the salt water enhancement.
 
     Figuring that it would be hopeless, I haven't  really tried to hear the 
12 watt signal on night pattern, but will give it a  decent try (if I can 
tolerate more of KVRI's banging music).  KVRI is  extremely strong here at night, 
and coming from the north, there is no way to  null it out.
 
                                                                              
               73,  Gary
