Patrick (and Dennis, Paul, and Walt):
Regarding the Castle Rock-540 TIS, I should have mentioned that the
NOAA weather (etc.) announcer was indeed female, and that the sign for this
station appeared just north of Castle Rock as we were southbound on I-5,
confirming that the location was indeed Castle Rock, in Cowlitz County (as
Paul
investigated).
We all had lots of fun in Astoria/Seaside yesterday, and are eager to
visit again soon. My wife and son especially liked riding the $1 trolley in
Astoria, as I checked the astonishing band conditions near salt water (B.C.
stations as strong as in Puyallup, although much farther away). The Sony
ICF-S5W is a pretty rare medium-wave DX specialty portable, which was only
sold
only for 2 years (1981-2). I am happy you like it! It is great for travel
DXing, especially for sorting out the I-5 TIS/HAR stations, which seem to
change
like the weather, hi. Thanks again for meeting us during your busy schedule.
73, Gary
