[IRCA] UCLUELET TOFINO
Recently spent a few days in Ucluelet and Tofino, BC but did not put much time in on the dials. Of note: 540 CBXQ Ucluelet. Does OK around town but not a whole lot there at the first Ucluelet sign as you head west on Highway 4 toward the town. I asked several people if they knew where the CBC tower was. No one did and I wasn't able to find it. 840 KSWB Seaside, OR. Amazing mid-day signal driving around Tofino. Obviously stronger the closer I got to the beach. I thought there must be a new LPRT in the area but the mention of Seaside and 840 Gold cinched it. No other real surprises noted days or evenings and with just a car radio, I didn't even try for early morning DX.

No one did and I wasn't able to find it. The tx and longwire used to down at the boat basin. I have a photo from 1973. I get CBXQ here all of the time. I have since they signed on in the late 60s. CBXQ is going to FM I have read like the majority of CBC LPRTs. Yes, KSWB is good there. I also heard KVAS 1230 and KAST 1370 there as well, but KSWB was stronger. That was when KSWB was a daytimer on 930 kHz. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com 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: irca@hard-core-dx.com

And you didn't stop in Victoria to meet with Walt, Nick or yours truly? Where did you stay while on the Island?
