Hi Patrick: I share your concern, albeit in reverse: KIXI aims right at me, while I am towards the side of KJR's lobes. I checked KIXI's web site, and they are advertising only their FM HD-2 simulcast in connection with their HD radio give-away, not any sort of AM mention, so perhaps they are sti

Bruce, Bonneville has been switching its emphasis of newstalk format from AM to FM. They did that in DC when they switched WTOP to FM. In Salt Lake City, KSL 1160 is an afterthought to its FM outlet. Just listen to their TOH IDs and you will see what I mean. According to Ken Sleeman, the

Bruce, That would be a disappointment if KIRO changes to all sports. I would rather have KOMO do it. KIRO has some good talk shows and I listen to them often on the van radio. KIRO is the strongest Puget Sound AM signal here, followed by KJR. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager _

Scott, Thanks for the info. Not a good sign if KJR & KIXI both hit the IBOC switch, especially for the Puget Sound DXers. KJR will be worse than KIXI here, as they have their fiqure eight South-West lode aimed right at me. With the South phased using the NW & SW EWEs, I get S9+50 some nights on KJ

It sort of makes sense from a business standpoint, seeing as KJR-AM is the only one of Clear Channel's Seattle stations that's not already using HD. Speaking of KJR (sort of), there's a rumor going around town that KIRO might switch to all sports, especially if they take back the Mariners gam

I know KIXI has been promoting receiving them in HD, but I've only heard it in reference to 106.9 HD-2 (KWRM, Bremerton). If I remember correctly, KJR 950 is co-located with KGNW 820 Burien (on Vashon, of course). Eric Svajdlenka KA7MEK Everett WA --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

Yes, it was KJR 950 that was specified. KJR-FM has been HD for quite some time. I believe KJR & KOMO are separated by about a couple of miles. Eric Svajdlenka KA7MEK Everett WA --- Patrick Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Do they say KJR 950? There is also KJR FM. I heard KJR was not going >

Do they say KJR 950? There is also KJR FM. I heard KJR was not going IBOC as they were close to KOMO on Vashon. KJR will be a real terror here as they have an ERP of 100 KW in this direction. Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing
