At Grayland one evening I was able to phase down KNBR 680 and was receiving NPR programming. Listen about 20 minutes and no KBRW ID and it was getting late (11:00 PM) as I was getting up at 4:00 AM to DX TP's. Left the recorder running with the NPR program over KNBR's sports talk. Checked the recording the next day in hopes of a KBRW ID and found KNBR with a rerun of SF Giants baseball on top of the channel. The signals changed and the phasing left KNBR on top of the channel. I found a live stream of KBRW, but could not get it to work this evening.

KNBR SF is a powerhouse here running 50 KW ND 24/7. It is easier to log stations to the East on 680, that North. Plus CHFA is in the way. I knew I had logged KBRW in the past, but I could never get an ID from them. The format matched, but at ID time, too much KNBR, until a few years ago during a very good Northern opening that gave KBRW a slight edge in signal. I caught their weather forecast, IDs, and even IDs for their translators. But it wasn't easy phasing down KNBR enough. KBRW is a good verifier too. I have their bumper sticker on the back of my van. Living in AK for 12-1/2 years (55-67), AK has always been an interest to me. I only need a few stations to have them all, so I keep trying from Fall to Spring KTKN-930, KBBI-890, KENI-650 and KFQD-750 are the easiest here. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected] _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
