RCI Reception in Seattle, is it possible? My understanding is that the HR antennas that target North America cannot target Puget Sound...

Targetting is irrelevant - enough spills over that there is zero difficulty in getting anything coming out of Sackville through all of North America. You're close enough that you can get almost all the Vancouver TV and radio stations with only slight effort, anyway! Tim. |

I've picked them up (but not at a convenient time). The Radio Netherlands weekend programs out of Sackville at 11:00 AM -1:00 PM PST get here, with variable success. They also relay out of East Asia at times, too. So you may be able to get that better. If you just want to hear CBC prgrams, don't forget CBC 90.5 FM Victoria, which is closer. The Vancouver stations are CBU 690 AM and 105.7 FM. They can be found on the web at: http://www.bcpassport.com/vital/radio.hmtl 690 kHz in Seattle is hopeless, even before KIRO-710 started IBOC. They have an amazing notch in their pattern and even with a sal****er connection all the way there, I never got more that a barely listen-able signal. It's easier to tune to 6160 kHz, daytime, to get CBC-1 or 540 kHz (CBK Regina?) at night. Even better is FM, CBC-1 is somewhere down in the educational frequencies, (maybe that 90.5 MHz you mentioned), and CBC-2 is on 92.1 MHz. And the French service is just below KING-FM. 97.7 or 97.9 MHz. (They've put some new US stations in there, so there may be more of a problem getting that now). There's also a lot of RCI on the early morning World Radio Network feed on KXOT-91.7. I think that's also the HD2 program on KUOW IBOC.

This is a shortwave group, yet nobody mentioned the CKZU relay on 6160 kHz! I imagine Seattle is probably one of the few places in North America where you can get reasonable reception of their signal, at least when R Netherlands isn't thumping away on 6165. |
