. Unless they plan on directing the signal due West, which is possible from Redmond to serve Seattle, but again it will be very costly. I hope they don't build it. Off the Eastern beverage, 740 is not a bad freq with Toronto, Fargo, etc. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

This station has rich history. I QSL'd them back when they were the Gilbert Ellice Islands on 844 kHz, then later on 846 kHz as Radio Kiribati. It used to be a common visitor here. I have not tried for them on 1440 kHz as yet though. Good going on your aircheck. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside
