This morning I had a bit of time so I thought Why not do a band scan. But which antenna do I use? I have four, five if you count the loop. But the best omni type that would be more honest on signal would be the vertical. Which isn't perfectly omni anyway, as it has a lobe to the N/NE for some reason. But anyway here it goes. Drake R8 Palstar MW550P Presellector 45' vertical with a 4 foot circle of 3-4 foot copper pipes buried for a ground plane. Antenna is fed through a homebrew matching transformer to RG6 to the MW550P. 530--Jewel TIS--S1 540--CBXQ BC--S6 550--KOAC OR--S8 550--KARI WA--under 560--KPQ WA--S5 570--KVI WA--S9 580--KTMT OR--S4 580--KIDO ID--under 590--KUGN OR-S8 600--CKBD BC--S8 610--KONA WA--S7 610--KRTA OR--under 620--KPOJ OR--S9+10 630--KCIS WA--S9+5 630--KWRO OR-under 650--CISL BC--S7 650--KSTE CA--under 660--KXOR OR--S9 660--KAPS WA--under 670--KBOI ID--S5 680--KBRD WA--S8 680--KNBR CA--under 690--CBU BC--S9+11 700--KGRV OR--S3 710--KIRO WA--S9+12 720--KFIR OR--S6 730--CHMJ BC--S8 740--KCBS CA--S1 750--KXL OR--S9+10 770--KTTH WA--S9+12 780--KKOH NV--S2 790--KWIL OR-S7 790--KGMI WA--under 800--KPDQ OR--S9 800--CKOR BC--under 810--KGO CA--S5 810--KTBI WA--under/mix 820--KGNW WA--S9+10 820--KORC OR--under 840--KSWB OR--S9+45 (local) 850--KHHO WA--S9 (splatter) 860--KPAM OR--S9+15 870--KFLD WA--S4 880--KIXI WA/KWIP OR--S9+10 mix 890--KDJQ ID--S2 900--CKMO BC--S9 910--KTRO WA--S9+12 920--KSHO OR--S8 920--KGTK WA--under 930--KYAK WA--S7 930--KBAI WA--under 940--KWBY OR--S8 950--KJR WA--S9+12 960--KKJX OR/KLAD WA--S3 mix 970--KCMD OR--S9+2 980--CKNW BC--S9 990--KTHH OR--S7 1000-KOMO WA-S9+8 1010-KMUZ OR-S9 1020-KYXE WA-S7 1030-KMAS WA-S9+10 1030-KDUN OR-under 1040-KXPD OR-S9 1040-CKST BC-under 1050-KBLE WA/KORE OR -S9 mix 1060-KBGN ID--S1 1070-CFAX BC-S8 1080-KFXX OR-S9+12 1080-UNID under 1090-KPTK WA--S9+10 1090-KNCR CA-under 1100-KFAX CA-S4 1110-KWDB WA-S5 1110-KBND OR-under 1120-KPNW OR-S9+5 1130-CKWX BC-S8 1140-KGEM ID/CHRB AB--S2 mix 1150-KXMG OR--S9 1150-KKNW WA--under 1160-KSL UT--S1 1170-KPUG WA--S8 1180-KLAY WA--S7 (IBOC hash) 1190-KEX OR--S9+12 1200-CJRJ BC--S4 (BOC hash) 1210--KWMG WA--S4 1220--KBPC OR--S8 (splatter) 1230--KKEE OR--S9+40 (local) 1240--KGY WA/KEJO OR--S5 mix (splat) 1250--KKDZ WA--S9 1250--KCST OR--under 1260--KLYC OR--S9 1260--UNID --under 1270--KBAM WA--S9+12 1280--KRVM OR--S9 1280--KLDY WA--under 1280--KIT WA--under 1290--KUMA OR--S1-2 1300--KKOL WA--S9+5 1300--KACI OR--under 1310--KNPT OR--S9 1310--KZXR WA--under 1320--KXRO WA--S9+12 1320--CHMB BC--under 1320--KSCR OR--way under 1330--KKPZ OR--S9+5 1330--UNID--under 1340--KUOW WA--S9 1340--KLOO OR--under 1340--UNIDs--way under 1360--KUIK OR--S9 (splatter) 1360--KKMO WA--under (splatter) 1370--KAST OR--S9+50 (local) 1380--KRKO WA-buried in splat) 1390--KKSN OR--S9 1390--KJOX WA--under 1400--KEDO WA/ KBCH OR-S9 mix 1410--KBNP OR--S9 1410--CFUN BC--under 1420--KITI WA--S9+12 1430--KYKN OR--S9+5 1430--KBRC WA--under 1440--KMED/KODL OR--S3 mix 1450--KBPS OR/KBKW WA S9 mix 1450--several stations under 1460--KUTI WA/KCKX OR-S9 mix 1460--KARR WA--under 1470--KELA WA--S9+10 1470--CJVB BC--under 1480--KBMS WA--S9+5 1480--UNID--under 1490--KWOK WA--S9+10 1490--KLOG WA--under 1490--UNIDs--under 1510--UNID--S1 1520--KGDD OR--S9+15 1530--KFBK CA--S7 (Best CA) 1540--KXPA WA--S9 1550--KKAD WA--S9+10 1550--KRPI WA--under 1550--UNID---way under 1560--KZIZ WA--S9+5 1570--UNID ---S1 (KCVR?) 1580--KGAL OR--S9+5 1590--KMBD OR--S9+22 1590--KLFE WA--under 1600--KOHI OR--S9 1600--KVRI WA--under 1600-KOPT OR--under 1610--TIS OC--OR--S8 1610-TIS WA--under 1620--KYIZ WA--S9 1640--KDZR OR--S9+5 1650--TIS--S9+21 (local) 1660--UNID--S1 (KXOL?
