Hello Patrick, Thanks again for your great daytime band scan, which along with Dennis Vroom's band scan, motivated me to post my own. My shack equipment is basically the same, but minus the salt water environment, the result was much less exciting, hi. The KLDY-1280 mystery is something that I wasn't aware of until tonight (if you have read Pete and Bruce's responses), but we both know how much I have tried to get Fort Lewis-1500, which is in the same area. Never a trace of either one of them here yet (but KIT-1280 is easy to get). When I was doing the band scan, I was at first puzzled that you received CKMO-900 at S9, but no trace of KKRT (I have no trace of CKMO). Then I started noticing a pattern that central Washington stations were coming in here quite well, compared to Astoria (although your signals from BC were stronger than mine, in general). When Pete and Bruce mentioned that they generally didn't receive the central Washington stations like I did, it became pretty clear that the Puyallup Valley location was doing strange things to radio signals, dropping out the SW direction especially (Lacey and Fort Lewis). Anyway, the investigation only proves that radio is fascinating, and the more you learn, the more interesting it gets. 73, Gary
