Hi Patrick/Dennis: Apparently KGO used to show up here in the Seattle-area ratings as well, at least until 820-KGNW went on the air a few years back. If people all had selectable sideband synch radios (and they should!), that would probably still happen, since KGO still booms in every night and is quite listenable on the Sony 7600GR's LSB synch.
Re: the paper clip antenna - this could be the start of a new UltraShort Antenna craze, with high-conductivity gold-plated paper clips, special techniques for straightening them for maximum sensitivity, custom matching baluns, etc. Consider yourselves warned.... :-) Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA > Hi Dennis, > > Thanks for your bandscan.
