Phil, No I have not heard it as yet. It may be tough with CBXQ
dominating out here during the day. But I will give it a shot.
Thanks.

I first heard the Burien TIS last September. It's apparently been on
the air since since last summer. It's audible here during the day,
about 15 miles from the tx site. There's also a TIS in Sammamish on 540.

This TIS started up about a year ago, and is 24/7 here on Bainbridge
Island, since it's only about 11 miles away. At night it generally gives
way to CBC-Saskatchewan, but certainly has put a damper on Mexico and
other targets of interest, depending on conditions. On the bright side, I

Two TIS stations to shoot for.I'll have to spend some time on 540 in

Kevin,
Here CBXQ does a pretty good job on blocking the channel to the N/NW/NE.
Even though only 40w, it is a straight water path from the West Coast of
Vancouver Is at 250 miles, and they get out. I get CBXQ at about S4-S5
days, ruining the channel for weak TIS stations, but I will give the two

Until I got my north-facing indoor Super Loop up, I hadn't heard CBXQ very
often. As I think I've said before, I am in a dead zone for Vancouver
stations here, between ground and sky wave propagation zones, which is not
necessarily a bad thing for DXing.

Kevin,
Vancouver/Victoria stations do pretty well on the North Coast. CBU is by
far the strongest wih their main lobe to the SW.
The weakest is 1320. But even them, I hear way under KXRO days and CHMB
is fair at night. But being 150 air miles from Victoria and 210 miles
from the Lower Mainland, I
I have heard the Burien, WA TIS on 540 to the Pierce/Thurston county line en
