PSSA would be right after LSS, but I got the idea the 50 watts was being

Well Crew, Schnerdley D. Boardman hasn't waded in with his comments
on KOHI's signal, so I will.
My Whidbey Island log shows me having logged KOHI-1600 @ 1905 on
06/22/85. Of course, it was 1 kW and skywave. I haven't gone to
my mp3 file, but I believe they were advising that it was a "no-
burn"
Gary,
Earlier this month I drove up to Reid Wheeler home in Olympia to purchase a
couple radios. I listened to KOHI up to Castle Rock and it vanished. That was
about 11 am. That was in the 97 tracer, it has a slopping antenna at 45
degrees and is very directional. Drivers side of the car

I just checked and KOHI's signal has really dropped off of late. Even
off the Eastern beverage aimed at them, I get S5 and QRM from KOPT. Off
the WNW EWE is is all KVRI. The SW EWE and vertical gets a jumble. So at
this time KOHI is hardly listenable and I am 60-65 miles from them.

Patrick, Dennis and All,
KOHI's wispy daytime signal here in the south Puget Sound area seems
completely related to the "salt water effect." Driving inland, even for a few
miles, makes the S1 signal disappear completely, leaving only KVRI. It's a
very tough daytime catch here in Pu

Gary,
I considered moving to the St. Helens are at one time many years ago.
But it is a beautiful area. Some of the Portland stations are shadowed
so they are not all that strong there.

In driving through St. Helen's after dark a few years ago, KOHI was on
for a local ball game. I was surprised how the signal did go N/S pretty
well along the Columbia River. The signal was decent from Columbia City
3 miles North of St. Helens to Scappoose 3 or 4 miles South of St.
Helens. Their 1

But that's not going to happen. All of the stations
