<< Gary DeBock-- if you're reading this can you try 1710 and let us know if you hear the station in your Puyallup valley location? It's not even close to being in audio here. >> Hi Guy, As I recall, when the 1710 Russian was first discovered (and many of us were investigating the bearing), you and I both came up with a 1710 spurious signal (apparently a mix of 710-KIRO and 1000-KOMO) that nulled toward Vashon Island. This made it difficult for us to dig out the real 1710-Russian signal, which came from true north (not from around 300 degrees, like the spur). There were only a few times that I could hear the real 1710-Russian signal weakly, and that was around local midnight on the 9' loop (in the back yard). 73, Gary In a message dated 12/6/2010 9:57:03 P.M.

At 0530 utc tonight I tried for the Russian language station on 1710. Since a number of folks have mentioned hearing it easily, I figured so should I. Nope! *Barely* a scratchy het is heard, and Perseus shows just a 4 or 5 dB S/N at the most. That's on the best of four antennas available, too! Very odd.
