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),

Thanks Pat (and Chuck Tom also) for your comments. Now I'm really puzzled at the station's absence here! I didn't tune ECSS to check for a het, just tuned past the frequency each time in AM mode. I was using my AOR receiver rather than Perseus so I couldn't see any activity on a spectrum or

Guy, Even though my NE EWE is tiny (15X40X15), it still does well for the Puget Sound stations. I just tried and the Russian on 1710 is going strong (weak here tonight), with a woman in RR and RR music. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

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!

I noticed this morning off the NE EWE at 1200 EDT 1600 UTC, that there are two stations on 1710, both seem Russian. I checked the Eastern beverage and no sign of it, so it doesn't sound like the Vancouver WA one. Are there more than one in the Puget Sound area? One is stronger than the other.

Patrick, I will check tonight on 1710 kHz for the Russian stations that you heard this morning. The Vancouver Russian station is still on the air. On 1710 kHz now I have a carrier with a level 4 signal. Have never heard them at this location. I'll be heading for Beaverton, OR today and will

It's been a while since anyone has mentioned anything about our Russian station. I'm listening to it now, and it seems to have drifted up slightly from previously noted frequencies (used to be just under 1710 as I recall). Tonight, I'm measuring it on 1710.004 at poor to fair level at 02:02

Pat, If the Russian station on 1710 was in the Yakima area, your eastern beverage should be able to received it? Yakima is a little NE of Seaside.  If I don't go out driving around looking for the station tonight, I will aimed the ewe in the NE direction and see if the signal improves.
