. 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

they co-located KPOJ 620 there. KPOJ was 5/5 KW, but using the short 1190 towers, the signal was poor. That is why I presume they boosted to 25/10. I am glad KEX did drop the IBOC. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA
