According to My Chief Engineer, who is in Traveleres Rest (just north of
Greenville), 660 WLFJ is stuck on, AGAIN, presumably at 50,000 Watts. he's
trying to listen to WSM 650 and 660 has them knocked out in the immediate
area.

Thanks for the detailed review. I think I'll keep my old 2010! ;)
A positive attribute of the old Sony is battery longevity. It has suprised

little heard earlier. The JJ/KK/CC were very subdued compared to yesterday
with the usual powerhouse stations barely audible. Just as I

The move of CFWB-1490 Campbell River BC to DM has been approved by
the CRTC but they must find another frequency (they had asked for 663
watts on 106.1).
It seems that the CRTC does not want their coverage area expanded
beyond what they
have on their AM graveyard frequency.

Deane,
Thanks for the update on CFWB 1490. I was wondering when they would be
moving to FM as their sister station CFCP moved a long time ago. I guess
CFNI 1240 is next. I am glad I QSL'd all of them.

Your carrier on 612 is probably 4QR as they are the strongest DU here
most mornings. Fortunately it was after LSR and the IBOCers from CA and
the East had faded down causing no QRM.

Really enjoyed your daytime band scan. The two stations that caught my
interest were KUGN KOPT. It's amazing that KUGN can be heard at S-3 on your

and they have 50 kw. The same situation here with KUGN

A very interesting bandscan. I am amazed you get all of that in such a

Your UNID on 800 must be KPDQ, 910 is KTRO, 940 is KWBY, maybe your UNID
in the 1230 mix is Chelan or Gresham.and 1510 must be KGA.

I wonder if the Puget Sound area is closer to Yakima or is the Northern
