Re: [IRCA] KOHI 1600

[D1028Gary@xxxxxxx]

To Bill in Victoria, BC (and others),
 
     As Patrick has mentioned, KOHI's 12-watt night  time signal is unlikely 
to be heard by anybody outside the local transmitting  area (around the 
Columbia River).  With the combination of a poor  transmitting site and severe QRM 
on 1600 (KVRI and KOPT), nighttime reception of  KOHI would seem unlikely at 
best, even for DXers in the Puget Sound area.
 
     The only luck I have had with this  extremely weak signal is to try for 
it around local sunset, when the  combination of enhanced conditions and their 
daytime power give you a slight  chance.  Look for the "Accent Radio Network" 
talk format, not the "Air  America" talk format of the stronger KOPT.  As if 
this were not enough  of a challenge, both of these stations are usually under 
the KVRI  signal.  Unfortunately, KOHI seems to rarely ID during its talk  
format, so the only likely way to positively ID them is to compare the  
transmitted signal with their web site audio, which is delayed about 3  minutes.  
Sound like enough of a challenge? (hi) Good luck!
 
                                                   73,   Gary
