Hi Pete,
Yes, I noticed this weak gospel music station about a month ago, when I was
chasing the Anguilla beacon on 1610. Anguilla was easy to identify because of
the 6090 kHz parallel, but there was another gospel music station under
Anguilla that was not following the typical TIS format.
The 1610 mystery I described a month ago is located off of Highway 99
somewhere near 288th St. in Federal Way. The format today was melodic
gospel - mostly full orchestral arrangements with a solo singer. Very
pretty, actually, with good quality. An ID was given every 12-15
minutes. It had

Didn't get to the dials before 1350UT this morning, and already things were
fading; pretty much done by 1400 with occasional bursts of signals. A couple of
tentative Chinese that would have been fun to ID.
pretty darn good audio (at least briefly):

Not a problem Patrick . . . $100 sounds like be a bunch of money. I
would at least consider a cantenna or the USB adapter on a cable (maybe
on a pole).

At 12 miles, that is really pushing it. Here there is Wifi within 4-7

There may be more dial up in the future, if they lower the cap. I still

Hey Pat;
Sorry about you losing your neighborhood "hotspot." Have you thought
about building / buying a long distance WiFi antenna to see if there are
other open hotspots? I've never used one but have read lots about them.
They can be as simple as a USB Wireless adapter affixed to a long USB
cab
