Re: [IRCA] GNARLY 1710 INFO
After work today I used a portable radio with a ferrite antenna and zeroed in on the transmitter. Just a few blocks west from the Home Depot as mentioned earlier. Appears to be mounted to the roof of a private residence.
Coords: N 47 53.369 W 122 15.929

I posted a pic of the antenna on my web site here:

This is from the contract engineer:
The House in the exact center of the image is the one with the
antenna on the roof. It is the 4th house at the end of the cul-de-
sac on our left. I have the lat long if you want it.
(The lat & long are in the URL but need to be converted to min/sec.- PT)

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?
