There are some large synchronised multi-transmitter TIS systems in TX and other states. The County of Fort Bend TX has a system with 10 fixed site transmitters all on 1670. They also have 2 non-synched portable stations that can operate on 1680 or 1690. And Dow chemical in the Village of Freeport h

Jim, Sorry to hear of your house fire 10 years ago, but I am happy you have your QSLs. I don't know what I would do if I had a fire. That would be scary to say the least. I still have everything I have logged on cassette or reel to reel tape dating back to the 70s, or at least most of it. I

Jim, Did you try a follow up? They replied, but I cannot remember I phoned them first to get an address. Too many years back. I don't know if they are still on the air, but if they are, you might try again. If you need the v/s or address, let me know. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KAVT Reception

Like the Fort Lewis WA TIS on 1500. According to reports from several Puget Sound DXers, plus even the v/s of my QSL, they hardly even cover Ft. Lewis. I find it amazing that I hear it as often as I do. I like going after flea power TIS stations. They are fun to hear and most QSL well too. I have e

Keep in mind that most TIS stations are designed for short distance operation. Most TIS stations have a very minimal ground system that is mostly for static/lightning dissipation rather than for counterpoise purposes. I have inspected well over 100 TIS installations up close and only a couple had e
