CBXQ 540 was my test for my NW EWEs and K9AY's. They were in 24/7 here. A few years ago I found I can get the FMs from that area at times too. 200 miles a water path for the most part.

Hi Ken, Congratulations on your reception of 850-KICY! <<< On the same drive the previous day I had the pleasure of visiting the Rockwork locations on the Oregon coast. It was daytime so no chance for any DX'ing but, my goodness, what a stunning setting. >>> Yes, the Rockwork cliff is not only stunning, but it's quite habit-forming :-) A growing contingent of DU-DXers is gathering there every August for some intense, cliff-enhanced transoceanic DX.

KICY normally Operates with 3 towers 11pm-4am beaming to Russia but they have an STA To operate non directional with 50kw 24/7 The directional signal is voluntary so no inteference is being caused to other stations KICY is 50kw non directional all other times of the day anyways Paul On Sun, Aug 19, 2018 at 11:18 AM Ken Waters wrote: > I had the opportunity to scan the band from Trinidad Rest Area Southbound > (a bit north of Eureka CA) on Thursday.
