Steve,


I believe the FCC shut down the Vancouver/Portland Russian station this past 
summer.
I have not heard the Seattle Russian station in a very long time.

Best regards,

Forgot to add that the 1710 Russian station, presumably Puget Sound area, 
was the strongest I've had it this year, perhaps ever, around 1520 utc. 
There was another similar sounding station much weaker underneath, maybe the 
Portland/Vancouver one, if it's still on.

 Thanks to Nigel, Mike, Bruce, Walt and Pat for their comments on the 162 
 LWBC reception, much appreciated.
 This morning was much poorer, however 162 did eventually barely reach 
 threshold audio--though a far cry from yesterday's relatively decent 
 reception. 1437 utc had first traces of audio; peaking at 1445 just barely 
 above threshold audio where the difference between male and female speech 
 was noted; last traces at 1510. If I hadn't been monitoring it it would 
 have been easy to miss.
 TP LWBC Radio Rossii also poor this morning.
 Last night produced a little TA LWBC, 162, 171, 198, 216, 225, with 162 
 and 225 reaching poor levels around 0440 utc. I don't usually get that 
 good audio on the upper channels, so 225 was doing unusually well. Later, 
 TP LWBC Radio Rossii was doing very well, hitting S7 at 0730 utc on 153 
 and S3 on 180.
 73,

Hi Dennis,

Coincidentally I was checking for the Seattle Russian station most days and
evenings last week, and I heard nothing at all on the frequency.

Is anyone else closer to the transmitter north of Seattle hearing them?

Guy - 
 
I travel to Everett at least once a month and the last time was Nov. 26th. I 
hear the Russian station each time and it was stronger than ever on the 26th. 
On the return trip, it could be heard all the way to North Seattle which is a 
first for me.

Guy,

Unless there is another somewhere else NE of me in Washington state, I
heard the Russian 1710 Friday or Saturday late afternoon, with the usual
format. So it is still there, or at least one in some area.
Only heard off the NE EWE.

Thanks Tom. So the same QTH is still running 24/7. I had heard it
anytime I tried. Infact a minute ago I tried and heard a woman in
Russian and going into Russian music. Weak but audible right now off the
NE EWE.
