To Paul, Chuck, Powell, Russ and other East Coast DXers,
One of the reasons why KOHI is so intensely interesting to DXers in the
Northwest is because it is a kind of a "perfect storm" of poor signal
conditions (i.e. a mediocre transmitting site, radial problems, terrible
nearby QRM
on 1600, low transmitting power, etc.). Because of these collective
negative factors, however, KOHI-1600 becomes a very tough and desirable DX
target
for those with a chance to log it (maybe in Oregon, western Washington and
lower B.C.)
Unfortunately, DXers outside of these areas probably have as much
chance of logging KOHI as winning the lottery... it's just not going to
happen.
Even though the discussion is DX-related and very interesting to those of us
involved (and will probably continue), we probably need to remember that we
are a distinct minority on the list, and be sensitive to those who are already
bored to death with the thread. The concepts of a tough-luck station apply
everywhere, but KOHI-1600 has already undoubtedly become the most famous
tough-luck station in history.
73, Gary
