Re: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP
The proposed temporary longwire site fort KARR 1460 is about 1/4 mile southeast of the boundries of Kirkland. One thing I know from having had to file an STA myself years ago is the STA signal cant extend beyond licensed contours. Tthis site is about 1 mile south of the original licensed site.

Re: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP
Thanks Bruce, Covington was the closest city I could find close to the coordinates. With 625w, they should cover that area ok. It will be interesting to see how you and other Puget sound DXers receive them. 625w from a 65 vertical wire is not much. If it is in a residential area, I wonder what they are using for the support, a tree, a building?

Re: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP
I would think 1460 exhausted all locations in the area are far as diplexing, otherwise why go to the long wire? This looks permanent at least until they can find a site. This may stretch out for quite some time, as long as the FCC will renew the CP. I am going to give this a shot, but there are several other stations on 1460. Yakima is quite strong and then the one down in the valley in Oregon. KARR was not all that strong with 5 KW days.

Re: [IRCA] KARR 1460 Kirkland WA new CP
In checking their new coordinates it looks like the site is near Covington WA. I wonder how well they will cover Kirkland 15-20 miles to the North?
